Here are some tips for making the most of your newly aquired digital camera. If you follow some simple tips you will be able to enjoy and get the most out of your new camera:

   1. The delay. Digital cameras have a longer delay from point to shoot. Take it into consideration when preparing to take your pictures. Digital cameras need time to turn on and acquire focus, check exposure, and heat up the flash.     
   
  2. A firm hand. since it takes a little time for the camera to take the picture, you have to stay steady until it is finished. But many people forget that. Shots get ruined because the photographer stabs at the shutter release and then starts to move on before the camera has really taken the picture.
      
   3. Select the Viewfinder: Most cameras allow you to see the scene through either a traditional optical viewfinder or in the LCD. Although the LCD gives you a more accurate view of what you will capture in the photo, including your current camera settings, the effect of the zoom, etc ... it makes it harder to keep the camera steady. 
      
  4. Do not ignore the manual, read it. The important parts of the manual are White Balance, Flash, Image Quality, and Drive mode.
      
  5. You don't need the computer. Canon, HP and Epson all offer models that let you insert your card directly into the printer and preview / print your images from the control panel.
      
  6. Have always plenty of memory for you photos. Buy extra cards so you do not find yourself with no "film".

  7. Digital photo recovery. If you erase your photos by mistake or even format your camera you can still get your photos back. DeleteFIX Photo makes recovering deleted photos easy.
 
Have fun with your new camera!
