There are both pluses and minuses of using digital cameras. The pluses are that they are easy to use, and anyone is able to use them without training. They offer a clear picture of the photo and you are able to select what photos you like and delete the photos that you do not like in a fast manner. The photo is able to be viewed straight after the photo is taken. The photos can also be uploaded onto a computer and printed off or saved. It is easy to get the photos printed off at a photo shop by using the memory card. Most digital cameras can be charged or run on batteries this can be both an advantage or disadvantage as they need to be charged regularly. The cameras are usually small and can be carried around easily. A disadvantage about digital cameras is that they can be expensive to buy.
Digital cameras photos can be stored on the camera with a memory card. The memory card can hold a large amount of photos, which can also be very easily deleted to make space for new photos. The memory card can also fit into the computer and the photos can be transferred and saved on the computer and used for further usage. A connection cord from the camera to the computer can also be used to transfer the photos from the camera to the computer. The computer can store the photos and also display the photos, the photos can also be manipulated on the computer with different computer functions that can change the physical structure of the photo.
When taking photos and using photos it is very important to ask the people involved for their permission in using their photo. If wanting to put the photo on the internet permission must be given otherwise this is unethical practice.
The use of digital images for occupational therapy is increasing as this is a very beneficial and effective way to practice. This is because photos can be used for environmental assessments and give the OT a photo that they can refer back to when they are writing up the assessment. Photos can also be used to show staff the correct way equipment is to be used with clients.

Optical zoom lenses physically extend to magnify your subject. A motor controls the lens movement. When you press the switch to "W" or "T," the subject is either magnified or reduced in size. The "W" stands for "wide-angle" (reduce). The "T" stands for "telephoto" (magnify).
Digital zoom crops your image and magnifies the result of the cropping. This magnification process is called interpolation. To make the cropped area bigger, digital zoom makes up, or interpolates, pixels to add to the image, which may give less than satisfactory results.

A megapixel is equal to 1 million pixels. A pixel is an individual element of a digital image. The number of megapixels determines the resolution of an image, and a digital image with more megapixels has more resolution.
Because digital cameras now often have the ability to create photographs containing 10 million or more pixels, megapixel is the preferred method for measuring resolution. In a list of digital camera specifications, you'll often see "MP" used as the abbreviation for megapixel.
