\n

One of the most basic tips<\/a> that I can offer is also one that can really yield a lot of results, and one that is often forgotten. Read your manuals.<\/p>\n

Today’s digital cameras, even the simple point and shoot ones, have a lot of features that you may not even be aware of, let alone use. My mother recently purchased a Canon Rebel XT<\/a>, a digital SLR<\/a>, for my father. The most important thing I could tell him was to read his manual. If your camera has a few features, you may be able to go over the whole manual in one shot. If it has a lot of features, do it over a period of time, reading and learning each new feature one at a time. When you read the manual, have the camera beside you so that you can follow along with the instruction in the manual. <\/p>\n

Is there something about digital photography you would like to know? Why don’t you send me your questions and I will do what I can to answer them. Send a picture along and I might include in a future tip. <\/p>\n

The digital photography tip of the week is written by the PCIN Assistant Editor, Chris Empey. Chris is a long time photographer and is currently the vice-president of the Niagara Falls Camera Club. You can see more of his photography at his Photo of the Day<\/a> website.
