Friday, May 29th, 2009

GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR POINT & SHOOT DIGITAL CAMERA

It is becoming more and more common to find people who have a compact camera  tucked away somewhere in their luggage, or handbag when they are away on holidays or attending a special occasion. It is worth keeping in mind some useful pointers to consider when using your compact camera to get the very best photos. This becomes particularly important if you want to print your images or enlarge them on photo paper or even turn them into a canvas print.

 

Set Your Camera to the Highest Resolution

One of the issues we see when printing canvas photo 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, this 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 cheap 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. Setting up you camera is normally a fairly simple process. 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 least possible number of pictures and the ‘fine’ setting. Simply take the time to have a look in the instruction book to figure out how. If all else falls go into your local printing store and ask for help. 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 printing 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.

Keep a few extra memory cards or sticks available, in case you fill the one you have.

 

Avoid Using Large Memory Cards

Memory cards and sticks can be corrupt and unfortunately you don’t usually find out until you try to download the images. We highly recommend not having cards larger than 1GB or 2GB, but always keep several on hand so. Another reason for having smaller cards is that you are more likely to download the images. When you download the images you can have a better look at them. Discard the ones that are no good, have a closer look at the better ones. Zoom in see how sharp they are and possibly consider getting them printed. If you remember to keep your photos filed in an orderly manner you can easily go back and find them. It is very frustrating 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. It is also highly recommended that you back up all your files, including photo files.

If you find that you have a corrupt memory card or stick, there are programs available to help you recover the data, but this is not always possible. 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. After all if you are not using the largest file size your digital camera can produce you are not using it to its full potential. Use smaller memory cards or sticks on hand and download regularly.

The Genuine Marine Camera

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

The people that use genuine marine digital cameras are those where it is usually used in the course of their work as these cameras are very expensive Studying the life below the surface, a marine camera is only normally within the realm of marine biologists and other nautical scientists Waterproofing a camera is not an easy thing to do so many, so called, marine cameras aren’t really designed for that type of work

If your in the market for one of these marine digital cameras to buy you could buy one of the cheaper options if you are only going below the surface for a short while and not to deep.

There is lack of real weatherproof digital cameras owing to the problems of water ingress in to the camera and of water pressure Manufacturers have found it is easier just design a watertight case that goes around the digital camera instead. This type of casing will turn your conventional digital camera into an marine digital camera.

If you are shooting with your marine digital camera, you need to take note of a few things to help you come up with the best underwater images.

Water diffuses the light and the farther down you go the more this diffusion occurs. The result of this is a darkening of the captured image so adjustments to the white balance are needed. You will also notice when you see the pictures taken underwater that they appear larger than they should; this is part of the magnifying effect water has. You will have to pay more attention using the viewfinder to make sure you are achieving the shot you want.

It is not uncommon for waterproof case to spring a leak so before you go on your dive, check that the camera I still watertight by submerging it for a couple of seconds. It is quite easy for something as tiny as a human hair to break the camera case seal and this will lead to a leak. Small silica gel packs can be useful if they can fit in the case without causing an obstruction.

Ask your marine digital camera supplier if you can add extra lenses to complete the kit. If you enjoy looking at things close up then you will need to fit a macro lens.

The seals on the marine digital camera need to be kept clean and free fro contaminants so ensure the camera is thoroughly rinsed of when you return to the surface. In particular where sand is present then a stream of water to rinse it off is best.
