example, you use a signature pad.

EXAM TIP The CompTIA A+ 1001 exam might ask about signature pads

as peripherals that plug into a PC. These devices exist (and plug in via USB),

primarily to help with electronic signing of forms, but they’ve been replaced

in many cases by tablets such as Apple iPads for face-to-face commerce.

Multimedia Devices and Formats

Multimedia devices like digital cameras and webcams enable sharing of

photographs and video chats with friends and family around the world.

Almost all mobile devices come with some capability to produce and record

multimedia.

Digital Cameras

Digital cameras capture every moment of life today and are essential tools

for everything from note taking to capturing your child’s first steps. Because

digital cameras seem to be integrated with every new gadget, I need to clarify

that this section will be talking about dedicated cameras. Because these

digital cameras interface with computers, CompTIA A+ certified techs need

to know the basics.

Storage Media Digital cameras save pictures and videos onto some type of

removable storage media. The most common removable storage media used

in modern digital cameras is the Secure Digital (SD) card (see Figure 10-35),

but there are others you might run across as you get into professional

cameras. (For details about removable storage media, see the discussion in

the “Storage Devices” section later in this chapter.)
