   - Hold the camera with your right hand. Support the camera or lens with your left hand. Do not block the autofocus, flash, port or lens.

  - Photos are stored in the camera’s buffer–internal memory. When the buffer becomes full, one or more image will be transferred to the memory card before more pictures can be taken.

  - Do not open the battery or the covers of the memory while you are saving images. This will cause failure of the image to be saved, and cause damage of the memory card.

  - You can adjust the brightness of your monitor.

  - Turn off the camera when not in use.

  Here are things you need to know outright when using a digital camera:

  - Enter the date or time (if this is the first time you will use your digicam or if the batteries have been dead for a long time already. It will be easier to organize, find and identify your images.

  - Learn what the icons mean. Check the camera settings on the control panel and viewfinder. The number of pictures you can shoot will depend on your settings and status of battery change.

  - Remember, if you are storing an image and you turn off your camera, the image will continue to be saved before your camera fully shuts down.

  - Generally, shutter buttons have two stages. Press your camera halfway down–the camera will set a focus and exposure. When you are ready to capture your picture, press the button the rest of the way. With some cameras, you can press the button all the way. A delay will occur before the picture is captured, in order for it to focus.

  - See if the camera has a diopter adjustment that will make it sharper, if you notice that the view finder is blurry.

  Digital cameras come in all shapes and sizes and if you could only open the case, you’d be amazed at the amount of technology crammed into their ever smaller cases. The imaging sensors have become more sensitive and now have the ability to capture more pixels per image. The microelectronics allows more components onto a smaller area, and more. All this technology results in one powerful gadget that is quite robust yet any sudden fall can result serious damage, a chipped board here, a misaligned lens there and you’d sure be on your way to get a new one. These camera’s are also on the side of disposable gadgets for their compact size means there is little you can do to remedy say a failed chip other than replace the whole board which would set you back a lot of money, almost the price of the camera itself. They are rated for drop tests which can be found in the manual though the quick guide would surely recommend that you do not drop it anyway. Read more »

  Here are some tips for aspiring digital photgraphers:

  1. The rule of thirds.
  
  If you’re not familiar with this, this simple means creating imaginary horizontal and vertical lines (although some cameras have the fature to make thse lines visible) that divide your screen / view into three. You subject should always be at those lines, not in between.

  2. Bring extra batteries.
  You never know when you’re going to run out, so always make sure that you have some extra batteries with you, especially in long trips. Bring the charger along so you can replenish you batteries when you find access to an outlet. This is even more important if you’re bringing along a supplementary flash.

  3. Bring a tripod.
  It makes for steadier shots, and is especially useful when you want to be in the picture with everybody in those timed shots. Just don’t bring the ones that are too heavy.
