USING YOUR COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA – SOME BASIC TIPS
USING YOUR COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA – SOME BASIC TIPS
It is becoming more and more common to find people who have a compact digital camera tucked away somewhere in their luggage, or handbag when they are away on holidays or attending a special occasion. There are some very useful tips to consider when using your camera to get the very best images. Particularly if you want to print your images or enlarge them on photo paper or even turn them into a canvas print.
Use the Highest Resolution On Your Compact Camera
One of the biggest problems we see when printing canvas print is great images with a low file size. A lot of people will set their camera so that it takes most number of photos that the card or memory stick can handle. The drawback with this is it produces the smallest file size for each image, which is o.k if you only want to preview them on a computer screen, digital photo frame or television. When you get that great photo of your family, dog, landscape, friends or whatever it is that is important to you, you become very limited as to what you can do with the image if it is a small file size.
Memory sticks and cards are so cost effective these days, it is really worth your while setting you camera to the highest quality it can take, so on the chance you get that amazing photo you can enlarge it to whatever size you like. The process of setting up you camera is normally fairly simple. It is just a case of going into the camera set up via the main menu, then looking for the largest image size and finest resolution. Then changing it to the lowest possible number of pictures and the ‘fine’ setting. Have a look in the instruction book that should have come with you camera to figure out how. If all else falls go into your local photo shop and ask for assistance. I’m confident they would be more than willing to help you out and they may even give you a few other tips about your camera while you are there. If you are away on holidays go into the local photo store where you are staying and they may even be able tell you the best time of day and location to take great landscape shots of the region you are staying in.

Avoid Using Large Memory Cards
There may be a chance that your memory card or stick is corrupt and normally you don’t usually find out until you try to download the images. We highly recommend not having cards bigger than 1GB or 2GB, but always keep multiple on hand so. If you have a selection of smaller cards, chances are you are more likely to download the photos. When the photos are downloaded you can have a closer look at them. Discard the ones that are no good, have a closer look at the better ones. If it is a good image, have a closer look and consider getting them printed. If you remember to keep your photos filed in an orderly manner you can easily go back and find them. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find that ‘special’ shot on your camera or computer and having to go through hundreds of photos and still no being able to find the one you want. We also recommend that you back up all your files including your photo files.
In the case that you do happen to find you have a corrupt memory card or stick, there are fortunately programs available that have the ability to recover data, but unfortunately it is not always 100% successful. So keep several smaller cards at hand and download regularly.
Conclusion
We recommend that you always set your card to the best possible photo quality that your camera is able to produce. What ever you spent on your digital camera make sure you are recording the largest file size possible and therefore getting the highest quality image files it can produce. Use smaller memory cards or sticks on hand and download regularly. If you are looking for more tips on how to take photos and get the best out of your camera, please go to Canvas Prints Online.
