Explanation
I added some new entries following the dpreview.com example; these include
- Metering modes: ie Matrix, Spot, Centre-Weighted
- Focus modes: AF-S, AF-C, etc
- Continuous Shooting: Low-Speed Continuous fps, High-Speed Continuous fps
- Viewfinder: Type of finder, as suggested above, perhaps with information about eyepoint, etc.
- Flash bracketing: from camera
- Focus bracketing: if any, for a digital SLR
- Custom WB: for digital
- WB bracketing: for digital
- Rear LCD monitor: some film cameras have this too, could explain size and/or what is displayed
- Data/Image Recording: type of cards for digital, types of modifications or info for pro film cameras that record info.
- Optional Battery Packs: self-evident.
Maybe I'll add one for focus areas too... -- Simonides 02:23, 5 February 2006 (EST)
Digital and Film Templates?
Would it be a good idea to create two camera templates? One for film cameras and one for digital cameras? That way the fields will be more specific to that type of camera. --Lbstone 14:55, 5 February 2006 (EST)
