Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
Microdrive
A "camera Microdrive" refers to an early 1-inch hard drive, primarily developed by IBM, that fit into a camera's CompactFlash Type II slot and was popular for its higher storage capacity compared to flash memory. While some modern products might use the term "Microdrive" incorrectly for Micro SD cards, the original Microdrive was a spinning magnetic disk offering much larger storage for digital photos and video, but it was also more expensive and generated heat, unlike solid-state flash memory. The Microdrive was a miniature hard disk drive, typically with a 1-inch diameter platter. It was designed to fit into a CompactFlash Type II slot, which was thicker than Type I slots. It offered significantly higher storage capacity at a lower price per megabyte than flash memory, making it a popular choice for digital cameras and MP3 players in its time. With an adapter, it could also be used in devices with a PC card slot. Unlike the spinning magnetic disk of the Microdrive, flash memory is solid-state and has no moving parts. Microdrives were less durable than flash memory cards due to their moving parts and generated heat, which could lead to digital noise in photos, especially in low-light or high-ISO conditions. The term "Microdrive" is now often used in advertising for "Micro SD cards," which are a completely different type of flash memory technology. The original technology described above is largely obsolete and has been replaced by more durable, higher-performance flash memory solutions.
