Important Camera Suggestions Everybody Ought to Know

 

There is a great deal to learn within photography. If you have a DSLR, a point and shoot, a bridge or even one of the more recent styled cameras such as the Fuji X10 with its NP-50 battery, there are some basic things you should be doing ought to be course. Although it’s not necessary to do many of these things, it will increase your photographic experience, help to make things more efficient, and above all could improve your chances of getting the picture you want. So without further ado, let’s look at some of these important basic principles.

 

1. Always carry a extra battery and media card with you. The amount of times I’ve gone out only to find my personal battery dead, or my SD card full because I didn’t download the images from my previous shoot. It is very frustrating and inconvenient.

 

2. Set your image size. If you are capturing simply for the web, then you can arranged your image size to some smaller resolution. However, I personally always set to the greatest resolution possible, because you don’t know when you are going to get “that” special picture. It would be a shame to get it only to find it’s not possible to print it at a large size.

 

However, if you’re shooting action or sports photography, you may want to photograph in a lower resolution to get more shots on your card, and also to reduce buffering and saving time.

 

Three. Update your firmware. Check your camera design and see if there are any improvements for your camera on a regular basis. Getting the latest firmware on your camera might help your camera take better pictures efficiently.

 

4. When you’ve down loaded images from a shoot and have backed them up, by no means erase them from your greeting card. Instead, it’s best to do a complete format and wipe your card clean. This guarantees a clean card for every use and minimizes the risk of data corruption.

 

5. Think about that which you intend doing with your picture after. Will you post process on your PC? If so, then in case your camera allows, shoot within RAW format as this format allows the maximum amount of info to be captured. Be aware it will take up more room, but it’s worth it. If you simply want to print or share on the web, after that using the cameras on board post processing and saving as a jpeg is totally fine.

 

6. Assistance. If you have a tripod, take it along with you and use it. This eliminates any potential camera shake issues. If you don’t have one, then look around where you are photographing. Is there anything you can perform to support yourself as you shoot? Maybe lean against the tree or lay down?

 

7. Finally, keep your horizon collection straight and level. It is a common mistake many beginners make where the horizon line is a few degrees off level. It’s looks like a mistake, and while it could be corrected by popping, it means an extra step in the process.

 

These quick tips can help you become a better photographer, however above all, always carry a spare NP-50 battery if you are using a Fuji X10 camera.
