In
digital camera terminology, high definition
photo is a shooting mode found on some digital cameras that produces a
1920x1080 pixel high-definition (
HD)
quality photo that will perfectly fit a wide-screen HDTV (
16:9)
for full-screen viewing. High definition photos may also be available on some
digital cameras when capturing motion picture recording (videos) using the
camera, rather than still pictures. Digital cameras that have the high
definition photo feature also will offer an optional
component cable that you can use to connect
the digital camera directly to the HDTV.
