Smart Buffering
The "smart buffering" mentioned by Phil Askey in his Nikon D70 review, combines elements from the above two buffering methods.
Buffer, Burst mode
Buffer - this is the temporary storage space in your DSLR where image data is written before it is processed and written to the memory card. Generally speaking, the bigger the buffer the shorter the wait between shots.
Buffer
An area or block of computer memory used for holding data as it waits to be passed from one process (imaging device, program, display device) to another.
Buffer - Memory in the camera that stores digital photos before they are written to the memory card.
Burning - Selectively darkening part of a photo with an image editing program.
Buffer: An temporary electronic storage area where several already-exposed digicam images can wait in line to be processed. This speeds the interval between shots since each photo does not have to be processed before the next one can be taken.
Buffer - Refers to memory in the camera that stores digital photos before they are written to the memory card. It enables you to shoot several photos in succession without waiting for each to be saved.
Buffer
In a digital camera, the RAM that is used to temporarily hold images while they are being written to the storage card.
Burst mode
A special mode for shooting a sequence of images in rapid succession. Also known as continuous .
Buffer
A temporary storage area usually held in RAM and used as a temporary holding area for data.

Buffer - A temporary storage area usually held in RAM. The purpose of a buffer is to act as a temporary holding area for data that will allow the CPU to manipulate data before transferring it to a device. Also see DRAM Buffer ...
Buffer Memory in a camera or digital device that stores information before it is written to a storage source. Bulb (B Setting) A shutter speed setting that holds the shutter open for as long as the shutter release button remains pressed.
Buffer. A digital camera's internal memory, which stores an image immediately after it was taken until the image can be written to the camera's nonvolatile(semi-permanent) memory or a memory card. A buffer lets a camera capture a burst of images.
Buffer (Buffer memory)
A form of temporary memory (RAM) where images are saved briefly before being written to the storage media.
Buffer
In a camera, memory that can hold a number of images while the camera writes them to the media card in the background. The buffer allows for bursts of images to be captured while files are being written.
Byte ...
Buffer: Device or allocated memory space used for temporary storage. Printers commonly use buffers, for example, to hold incoming text because the text arrives at a much faster rate than the printer can output.
buffer
any substance or combination of substances, when dissolved in water, produce a solution that resists a change in its hydrogen ion concentration from the addition of an acid or alkali.
Buffer Memory
Memory that is built into a device such as a printer or camera that temporarily holds the data until the device can process and/or transfer the information to a memory card or other storage device.
Burst Rate ...
Buffer ram
Fast memory chip in a digital camera. Buffer Ram is used to store images whilst they are recorded onto the much slower removable media card.
-Buffer - chemical substance used to maintain the alkalinity of a developing solution, particularly in the presence of bromine which is produced during development.
Z-buffer
An area in graphics memory reserved for storing the Z-axis value of each pixel.

Image Buffering - If you plan on taking a lot of pictures in rapid succession it is imperative to have a large memory buffer.
frame buffer
Older term for video display card. Technically, the portion of a video display adapter containing memory in which digital image data is assembled prior to sending it to a monitor. See video display card.
frame rate ...
Buffer
A digital camera or SLR stores the captured image in its internal memory before transferring it to the camera's memory card.
Buffer
This is where your camera temporarily stores information or data about a picture before moving it to the memory card.

Buffer
Temporary memory storage. A digicam without adequate (or any) buffer will force you to wait until the image is written to the memory card before you can take another shot.
Burst Mode ...
Memory Buffer - Refers to the temporary memory function in a digital camera that captures an image and stores it until it is transfer to the camera's memory card.

A large buffer is only really required by those shooting action sequences.
Larger on-board buffers enable continuous burst depths of over 20 RAW and 40 JPEG images at rates of up to 8 frames per second (fps).
It serves as a buffer zone to provide greater administrative control, safety, and protection for the limited or exclusion areas.
Make sure the maximum continuous buffer is at its highest setting (Max Continuous Release on the D3).
- You can shoot handheld, but as with video, it looks better if you use a tripod, shoulder-mount or even a Steadicam.
12 frames per second still shooting (one of the fastest cameras out there), RAW buffer size of only 13 photos (not good). So after taking 13 shots, you must wait for the buffer to empty to the SD card ...
As you take photos, they are first stored in the camera's internal memory called a "buffer". When the buffer is full you'll have to wait until one or more of the images has been transferred to the memory card before taking any more pictures.
Modern SLRs have large internal frame buffers, allowing us to shoot burst rates exceeding the writing speed of our memory cards. The camera then writes the pictures to the memory card from its internal frame buffer memory.
Ideal photograph storage involves placing each photo in an individual folder constructed from buffered, or acid-free paper.
The following processing solutions, or suitable substitutes, are required: Kodak S2 Activator (a dilute potassium hydroxide solution), Kodak Ektamatic S30 Stabilizer (an acetate- buffered thiocyanate solution), Dektol, ...
Note though that cameras like the EOS 20D have a pretty large buffer. The 20D can shoot around 23 JPEG images and store them in the cameras internal memory buffer. The speed of the CF card doesn't affect this.
To prevent an exploit known as a "buffer overflow" common to many worms and viruses, Service Pack 2 enables a hardware feature called Data Execution Prevention (DEP) available on newer processors.
In the digital age, the chip inside your camera saves the image it recorded to the camera's internal memory buffer. After the chip saves its information to the camera's internal memory buffer, it clears itself and gets ready to take another picture.
In fact, the main thing that drives the cost up on digital cameras is the number of megapixels, and the size of the memory buffer. Most cameras have a reasonable amount of both, so you needn't worry.
Camera buffers will offer much greater bursts of speed when using JPEG instead of RAW. This extra buffer speed is critical when trying to capture the height of the action.
Image is kept temporarily in an internal memory called the buffer and then compressed to JPEG or RAW format and then stored on the memory card. This process can take a few seconds to complete before another picture can be taken.
Camera designers try to remove this effect by buffering the mirror's movement. With normal shutter speeds this effect is rarely a problem but with longer exposures it can cause an image to slightly less sharp than it might otherwise be.
For fast action sequences, fire as fast as your motordrive will allow while keeping an eye on your buffer so you don't run out of memory during the best action.
In professional digital cameras buffer memory is usually quite generous and can hold quite a number of images in high resolution. Consumer cameras usually offer less buffer memory, so the the number of images it can take in one burst will be limited.
SAM works very well for memory buffers, where the data is normally stored in the order in which it will be used (a good example is the texture buffer memory on a video card). RAM data, on the other hand, can be accessed in any order.
Key features to look for in a DSLR are a good AF system, a buffer that will allow a burst of constant shooting and a fast continuous frame rate. Most DSLRs are capable of 3-4fps, which is sufficient when you’re starting out.
The big files and bigger buffer, about 17 frames in RAW, really make a difference. Being down deep on a free dive near a whale and waiting after shooting four frames got pretty old. Also on the D2X housing, I can see through the viewfinder very well.
JPEG is a compressed file format so for the same image a JPEG is smaller than a raw file allowing you to capture more on each card, store more on your disk drives and shoot longer continuous bursts without filling your shooting buffer.
Ensure your pages are loading as quickly as possible and not waiting for long server pauses between buffering images. There are some possible ways to load images via JavaScript while the DOM is still being parsed.
Built-in Memory
Many inexpensive digital cameras store pictures in a built-in memory buffer. Once the buffer is filled, the images must be downloaded to a computer before more pictures can be taken.
If incremental mode is not set, brush strokes are drawn on a canvas buffer, which is then combined with the active layer.
The main advantage of RAW over TIFF is that it takes a lot less time to record onto the Compact Flash Card so they don't fill up the buffer for as long.
If you need to take pictures in rapid succession, and your digital camera does not provide a large enough RAW buffer, you will be hampered by the extra amount of time it takes to write a large RAW image data to memory card.
If you love the sound of capturing images at seven frames a second to the point at which you fill your buffer, you will have a lot of similars. Within each series, there will always be a few that stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Note: If you have to go to the limit it is usually not such a good idea to place your subject at the calculated max. distance. Better take a bit off as a safety buffer (due to possible light loss effects + the actual GNs are always a bit lower ...
It is sometimes referred to as ‘hypo'. Fixer may also contain acetic acid (stop bath) to ensure developer neutralization, a buffer to maintain acidity, and a hardener to prevent gelatin swelling during the wash step.
Don't worry about having to thumb through all of those buffer pages like other books. This one jumps right in and doesn't let you out until it makes sure you've mastered the technique.
For that reason archival papers must be "acid-free," or have a neutral or slightly basic pH. Papers are also often "buffered," which involves the addition of an alkaline material such as calcium carbonate to help ensure long-term pH neutrality.
The difference in brightness, often measured in stops, between the highlights and shadows in a scene.
Buffer
A memory reservoir built into digital cameras that stores the photos before they are written to the memory card.
