Photography TipsI just read an article by David Pouge in the NY Times on the top 10 considerations for a digital camera that is missed. I will summarize each item for those who do not get along very well with English. But it’s worth making the effort to read it, is a must

  1. Use “pre-focus” to reduce the problem of delay that usually have a digital camera in autofocus mode, just press the shutter half-time to give the camera to focus, then shoot. Very useful when you want to capture an image that happens very quickly
  2. Do not believe the myth of megapixels. Megapixels do not make a good camera.
  3. Ignore the digital zoom. In its quest to sell a camera, the manufacturers add digital zoom merely “stretch” the picture rather than closer. For best results, turn off digital zoom option. The optical zoom is really worth it and this is a lens that can actually bring an object.
  4. Purchasing the camera with a reasonable memory capacity, for example 512 MB. No doubt their default camera very little memory, just enough for 5 or 6 shots, so it is that in seeking different assumptions about these cameras include a reasonable memory size.
  5. Beware the storage format. Memory cards come in different formats with different performance standards, but also with different prices.
  6. Do some research before buying your camera. Luckily there are numerous websites on the internet that have excellent information, examples and testimonies of the most varied cameras.
  7. Know what kind of camera you need. Do not ask an expert in technology, “What camera should I buy?”. Because there are many answers to that very question. First identify your needs.
  8. Disable the fash, average flash is around 2.30 meters wide, so for a party at school, the flash would be useless.
  9. Turn on the flash, in contrast to the previous item, if you want to take a picture with high contrast of shadows (in a relatively close object), force the flash will help reduce the contrast.
  10. Turn off the LCD display. While this is the main attraction of a digital face, is also the Nro1 consumer batteries. In most cases you can use the optical viewfinder thus saving, a lot of battery.
