What is the difference between a digital camera and a SLR?

1. Different sizes: Digital cameras on the market are relatively small, and manufacturers will also focus on this. SLR cameras are often bulky and troublesome to carry. Because the main consideration for SLR cameras is performance. Compared with SLR cameras, digital cameras are lighter and easier to carry, and they don’t require any more accessories when taking photos.

2. Different shutter speeds: Ordinary digital cameras are sufficient for ordinary users to take daily photos and take selfies, but the shutter speed of the camera is extremely important for those who have higher requirements for adapting to harsh shooting environments. In ordinary digital cameras, it is extremely important to maintain the fastest shutter speed at about 1/1000 seconds, while the fastest shutter speed of SLR digital cameras can easily reach about 1/10000 seconds. Such a fast shutter speed is very important for ordinary digital cameras. Beyond the reach of cameras, it's perfect for taking photos of ecological environments and professional compositions.

3. Different degrees of anti-shake: Digital cameras are very sensitive to shake. Even slight vibrations during exposure can produce blurry images. If ordinary digital cameras are not models with high-power zoom lenses, many of them do not have the practical function of anti-shake, so the anti-shake performance is not strong. SLR digital cameras can be equipped with lenses or other professional accessories to prevent the camera from unstable shaking during shooting, thereby effectively solving the shaking situation and taking better-quality photos.

Precautions for using SLR cameras

During use, in addition to preventing dust, pollution, rain, and trauma, the lens must also be covered with a lens cap in time. Dust on the lens will not only affect the development quality of the photo, but also affect the service life of the lens.

Generally, do not wipe the lens directly if the lens is stained with dust. You can use a blower to remove the dust on the lens. If you skip this step and wipe it directly on the lens, it is equivalent to using sand on the lens. Grinding will directly cause damage to the mirror surface.
