Type of camera which uses single-lens reflex with a digital imaging sensor whereby the reflex design brings the difference between DSLR and other cameras as the viewfinder presents a direct optical view through the lens.
This camera uses lens which can be mechanically adjusted and switched to the direction of light from them while focusing which can either be automatic or manual done.
DSLR uses autofocus based on phase detection and in this method, optimal lens position can be calculated instead of estimation this type of autofocus is faster than any other technique as the sensor requires the same light going to the image sensor.
This type of camera should be handled with care when exchanging the lens or cleaning them, the camera should also be cleaned following the required techniques.
This type of cameras are very effective in taking pictures of continues moving object and this is one of the things the other cams aren’t capable of doing, DSLR cams switch on easily and have no lens extending element like the other cams.
This digital cams have a higher frame rate which enables them to take sequence photos of a moving object and has a greater operational speed as they can focus faster.
Another importance of this DSLR cams is that they are able to capture photos even when there is not enough light and they can do so even without the flash as they have a feature which makes the digital sensor inside very sensitive to light.
Using DSLR cameras gives you the opportunity to review your work instantly and this allows photographers to make maximum utilization of the light setup and location to produce the greatest number of keepers and one can improve exposure or reduce depending on the type and characteristics of image needed.
They cameras have a vast collection of lenses to choose from as they share the same type of lenses with LSR cams and in fact these two cams only differ with that digital sensor and LCD screen they have.
They give steady shooting as they have minimal lag time and this helps one to compose image through an optical viewfinder which helps one to see movements in real time enabling him/her capture it with infinite lag time between the pressing shutter button and getting the shot.
DSLR camera photos can be taken raw and then edited afterwards which will enable the photographer to edit it afterwards which will increase the pictures contrast, overall color and exposure by using software like Photoshop
