A digital camera may require a particular type of storage medium, or may be compatible with a number of different types. As a rule, a digital camera comes with a cable that allows you to transfer images to your computer without removing the storage medium. Otherwise, you move the data from the camera to your computer manually, inserting the medium into the appropriate drive of your computer. Some newer printers also come equipped with slots for memory cards, so that you can print photos without using your computer.

Digital photography and Digital cinematography have both advantages and disadvantages related to still film and motion pictures. In the 21st century photography became predominantly digital.
We too prepare our students to make digital films known as Digital Film Making (DFM). We have all kinds of sophisticated photography and videography materials in our centres. Students use them to make their movies. Faculties teach and help them edit their video footages that they have shoot. We also conduct DFM Competition twice a year only for our students. Groups of students actively take part in the competition and showcase their creativity in the form of short movies.
