Digital Camera Basics
Subjects > Hobbies > Photography
Modern digital cameras are causing new interest in photography, similar to when then instant Polaroid was introduced. Many people ae attracted to the lack of film and developing costs. Most cameras now offer an LCD screen that lets them look at the pictures immediately after taking, and decide if the picture is worth saving. Bad pictures can be deleted, and no money is wasted on developing, or storage.
Five important steps for working with digital photos include:
- Taking good photos
- Download and organize the photos
- Edit the photos
- Printing the photos
- Backing up the photos
Understanding the basic features of your digital camera is the first step in taking digital photographs. The first basics you should learn are
- How to charge the batteries
- How to use your camera to take a photograph
- How to review your photographs on the camera
- How to delete bad photographs
- How to download your photographs to your computer
- How to make a print of your digital camera photograph.
Read just enough of the camera manual so that you can go and have some fun with your new digital camera.
After you are somewhat comfortable with this process of the basic use of your digital camera, then you should take the time to read your camera's manual thoroughly. You will learn about shortcuts, and get tips and hints that should help you improve your photo taking.

Digital Camera Features
One of the first things to learn about your camera is how to set it to the automatic point and shoot mode. When faced with a unique candid photo opportunity, you want to be sure you know how to quickly return your digital camera to it's automatic point and shoot mode.
Some basic kinds of digital cameras include:
- Bubble pack cameras - These cameras often come in a plastic case like headphones, often marketed for kids. These cameras often are strictly point and shoot, have no display, often have no removeable memory, and might only have one or two lens settings. They resemble point and click disposable cameras. In fact, Ritz Camera has recently started marketing a single use digital camera for as little as $11.
- Point and shoot digital cameras - Introductory cameras, low price
- Intermediate digital cameras - these cost more money, and currently have about 3 to 4 megapixels, zoom
