According to Dr. Greg Lutke there are
5 dimensions of a digital photograph
Exposure; monitored by the histogram
Tonal Range; adjusted in software postprocessing
Color; controlled by white balance/colortemperature setting of your camera
Sharpness; influenced by camera shake anduse of the unsharp mask in post processing
Depth of Field; controlled by the F stop settingof the camera

The Good News:
Camera settings are pre-set on a onetime basis (except for F stop)
Software Post Processing is Simple

Digital Camera Sensorscontain millions of photo-sites or diodes
Conventional photographyuses chemical compounds
to record light Digital photography uses
tiny light-sensitive photo-sites to detect light
Each Photo-site is
responsible for a PIXEL
Pixels = picture elements

Pixels Make The Image
Portmanteau is a Lewis Carroll term for combining two words into a new
word..Thus,the PIXEL (picture + element)

Shutter Speed=length of time the
camera sensor is exposed to light
In dental photography the shutter speed is aconstant
We use the cameras flash synch speed
The flash synch speed is the fastest shutter speedthat can ordinarily be used to take a picture withan electronic flash. Typical value would be 1/200of a second. (Rebel Xti) 1/250 for a 40D. Thefaster the better so as to reduce the effects of
camera shake We set it and forget it!

F stop settings hint:
Think high number=more depth of field=more
image clarity (F22-F32)

ISO=International Organization for
Standardization
ISO is the yardstick for sensitivity to light
The higher the ISO, the faster the speed of
the camera with respect to image recording
Digital SLRs now feature ISOs up to 3200 andup useful for low (light photography:VELscope)
In dental digital photography (flash-based) we
set it and forget it at 100. This keeps noise outof the picture

Light Sources
Flash photography; Ring flash, Point Source,Dual Point Source; Combined point source andring flash
Can be controlled by TTL or ETTL: EvaluativeThrough the lens metering; The camera tellsthe flash when to turn off! This is how WEDO IT.
We are using automatic exposure controls vsmanual exposure controls

What is a Histogram? The histogram is simply a graph that allows
you to judge the brightness of an image. Youcan think of the area under the graph as
comprising all the pixels in your captured
digital image. The left side of the histogram
depicts how many "dark" pixels you havecaptured; the right side, how many "bright"
pixels you have captured.
-

Histograms: They can guide us in setting the
Exposure Compensation Value as well as on-the-fly aperture setting adjustments

What is Exposure Compensation?
A pre-determined exposure adjustment matched to thecameras system components; It adjusts the ExposureValue
It over-rides what the camera initially tells the flashand adjusts the flash output up or down
Typically +1 in the Canon systems

White Balance
Influences color temperature of image; warm(gold/yellow) to cold (bluish)
Can be pre-set to Kelvin value (5000-5700);Canon allows setting variables in 100 degree
increments Can be pre-set to daylight setting or flash
setting
Can be pre-set using Custom white balance
Photomed presets this value in cameras shippedin kit form.

File Formats: JPEG vs RAW
JPEG = Selectable Compression
JPEG = A lossy format
JPEG = Most compatible format
JPEG = less room on memory cards
JPEG = can reduce file size by a factor or 20 or
more
JPEG = in camera and out of camera selectablecompression

In the RAW; All you need to know RAW is the broad term applied to all the proprietary formats
created by each digital camera manufacturer
RAW is not compressed; Sensors native resolution RAW eliminates camera pre-sets such as white balance,
sharpness, color saturation, exposure, etc
You fix em up after the image is captured
RAW is your digital negative; archive them
AACD submissions are done in RAW Shoot with your cameras JPEG+RAW option
A 12 megapixel camera can save 132 JPEG FINE+RAW imagepairs on a 4 GB card

Whats a magnification ratio?
The magnification ratio is the ratio of the size of the
image projected on the sensor compared to theactual size of the object.
A magnification ratio of 1:10 means that the imageon the sensor is 1/10 of life size.
magnification ratio of 1:1 indicates a life size imageon the sensor. The more an image is magnified, thelarger it is projected on the sensor which results ina larger image seen on the view screen.
-
7/28/2019 Digital Photography Fundamentals
33/156
1:1 = actual size of imaging media
In the case of XSi: 9/10s inch which = about 3 teeth
1:2 = about 8 teeth (1.8 inches imaged)
1:3 = full anterior retracted (just under 3 inches imaged)

What is Autofocus and when should you use it?
-
7/28/2019 Digital Photography Fundamentals
36/156
In Manual Focus mode, using the magnifcation ratio scale will guarantee
consistent image sizes and illumination.
Auto-focus is fast but will yield varying sizes and illuminationas your distancefrom the subject will vary.you can be in focus anywhere.

Retract the cheeks up and out / down and out
Hold the mirror against the opposing arch
Have patient reclined about 30 degrees back
Use 1:3 magnification
If the tongue is problematic on the lower, ask patient tomove their tongue behind the mirror
Air to defog the mirror
Wide end of mirror first
As close to perpendicular to mirror as possible (45 degreescloser to reality)
Mirrored shots need to be flipped vertically in software

Some Bonus Photo Tips
Brace yourself against the chair when takingphotos.this will steady you Vaseline to lips or retractors will ease retractor
placement For occlusal shots, the mirror is at least 45 degrees to
arch, focusing on bicuspids (closer to perpendicular thebetter)
urn the patients head towards you to facilitate theimaging.
Use Quadrant shots when wishing to zoom in on aparticular area of interest
Wear Glasses when using an LCD if you normally do Peripheral lighting only from your overhead light; excess
light will confuse the flash sensor
