Allows the camera to focus more
quickly to capture action shots. Some
cameras also use motion detection to
"freeze" a fast-moving
subject, making your photos even
sharper.
28. Most digital cameras store the photos
on a separate memory card, such as
a Secure
Digital, SDHC, microSD, or CompactFl
ash card. These cards usually have
several gigabytes of storage
space, and the exact number of
photos that they can hold will vary
depending on the resolution and file
format of the photos.
29. You may need to purchase a memory
card separately, and it's important to
choose a card that is
COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR CAMERA
30. Generally, you'll want to use the
memory card as temporary
storage until you transfer your
photos to your computer. You can
then delete the photos from the
memory card so you'll have plenty of
space for your next photo shoot.
33. • Cameras use rechargeable lithium-ion
battery packs, although some can
use AA batteries. The battery pack is
usually included with your camera, but
you may want to buy an extra one in
case the battery runs out while you're
shooting. Make sure to buy a battery
pack that is designed to work with your
camera.
38. Every digital camera has a sensor located
behind the lens. The sensor is the part
that actually captures the photo, much
like the roll of film in a film camera. When
you take a photo, the sensor is exposed to
light for a fraction of a second, or
sometimes longer. The total amount of
light that is captured is called the
SENSOR
40. Your camera's LCD screen has a focus
indicator, which is a box that shows what
your camera is focusing on. To prevent
focusing problems, you'll need to keep an
eye on the focusing indicator whenever
you take a photo.
43. Most digital cameras have a
two-stage shutter button
which means that it can either be
pressed halfway down or all the way
down.
When you press it halfway down, your
camera will lock in the focus and
exposure settings.
46. Flash: Most cameras have a built-in
flash to help you take photos in low-
light situations. If the flash is set to
Auto, then your camera will only use it
when it needs to.
Timer: If you're taking a group
photo, you may not always have an
extra person to take the photo. By
setting the timer and placing the
camera on a table or tripod, you'll have
time to join your friends in the photo.
47. Macro Mode: This is a setting that
you can use to take close up shots.
It allows the camera to focus on
objects that are only a few inches
away.
Exposure Compensation: If your
photos are coming out too dark or
too light, you can use this setting to
adjust the exposure.
48. Zoom: If your camera has a zoom
lens, then you can control the optical
zoom using buttons or a dial (depending
on the camera). On many cameras, you
can zoom in even further by using the
digital zoom.
52. The shutter speed is the amount of
time that the shutter stays open. A slower
shutter speed (such as 1/4 second) allows
the camera to gather more light, and a
faster shutter speed (such as 1/2000
second) allows you to "freeze" the action
and avoid blurry photos.
56. Camera lenses have a circular "window"
that controls the amount of light that can
reach the sensor (much like your eye's
pupil). The size of this window is called
the:
Aperture
F-number
F-stop.
57. The aperture also has an interesting effect
on how the light is focused: With a larger
aperture, the background will blur, while
the subject stays in focus. This is known
as
Shallow Depth of Field.
61. Digital cameras can adjust the sensitivity
of the sensor, and this is known as the ISO
number. For example, ISO 100 is a lower
sensitivity, so it requires more light to
create a good exposure. This often means
that your camera will use a slower shutter
speed and/or a wider aperture to gather
more light. ISO 800 is a higher
sensitivity, so it can create a good
exposure with less light. However, higher
ISO numbers also add
more image noise, which may make your
photo too grainy.
65. In any photo you take, you'll want your
subject to be in focus.
However, sometimes you may want
the background to be out of focus, to give
a soft, artistic appearance to the photo.
This is known as shallow depth of field.
With a shallow depth of field, you can still
focus on your subject, but objects that are
closer or farther away will be out of focus.
If you are using a DSLR or bridge
camera, you can get this effect by
choosing a wide aperture.
69. Many cameras include presets called scene
modes, which you can access from your
camera's menus or from a dial at the top.
Each scene mode is geared toward a specific
situation (or scene). For
example, the Sports scene mode will use a
faster shutter speed, and it may also use
motion detection to help reduce blur. On the
other hand, the Portrait scene mode is
designed to easily focus on your subject, and
it also adjusts the color balance so that skin
tones look as natural as possible.
72. Lighting can come from:
The Sun
Your camera's flash
A lamp
Ceiling lights.
The direction, brightness, and color of the
lighting can have a dramatic effect on the
appearance of your photos.
75. in any photo, the light will fall on the
subject in a certain way,
creating highlights (bright areas)
and shadows (dark areas). The highlights
and shadows create contrast, which can
help to make the photo more interesting
but can also create problems in some
situations.
76. A PHOTO WITH A GOOD BALANCEOF
HIGHLIGHTS AND SHADOW
79. REMINDER:
Avoid having the sun behind your
subject, as this can cause your subject to
be too dark and the background too
bright. Try to find an angle where the sun
is to the side, so that your photo will have
a mixture of shadows and highlights.
83. Photos look best when taken just before
the sun sets, or just after it rises. This is
commonly known as the
“golden hour“
Since the sun is lower in the sky, it
creates longer, softer shadows. These
shadows can add contrast to your
photos while still giving them a
soft, pleasant appearance. In
addition, the sunlight has a more golden
color, which adds warmth to your
photos.
86. This can create dark shadows and bright
highlights, which can give your photos
a harsher appearance. If you are taking
photos of people, their eyes may be
completely in shadow. Sometimes, you
may be able to reduce these shadows by
turning on your camera's flash, although
this won't work if your subject is too far
away. You can also ask your subject to
face a different way to try to reduce the
shadows.
89. • The softest light occurs when the sun
is covered by clouds, or when it's just
below the horizon. Since the light is
soft, your camera will be able to pick
up details that may have otherwise
been covered by shadows. This can
also be a very good time to
photograph flowers and other colorful
objects.
92. For indoor photography, your light
sources can include lamps, ceiling
lights, sunlight through a window, and
your camera's flash. This gives you
more flexibility, as you can move lights
or turn them on or off to control the
direction and brightness of the lighting.
94. You may be tempted to use the flash for
all of your indoor photography, but
pictures taken with flash often have
dark shadows and bright highlights that
can be harsh and unflattering. You may
want to try turning off the flash and
working with the other lights that you
have. You can turn the flash back on if
you find that your pictures aren't
coming out.
97. Is located off to the side, but still in
front of the subject. There can also be a
second light called a fill light, which is
located on the other side of the subject
to help reduce shadows. Sometimes
the photographer will use other lights
as well.
98.
99. Here are a few tips that you can use to take
better indoor photos:
• Avoid having a sunny window
behind your subject.
• Try turning off the ceiling lights
and using one or two lamps as
the light source.
100. • Use a tripod.
• Try using the Party/indoor scene
mode.
• If you have to use the flash, move
your subject away from the wall.
• Experiment.
102. In photography, you can do all of these
things simply by changing the position
and angle of the camera. The way that
everything is arranged in your photo is
called the composition. By paying
attention to the composition of your
photos, you can improve and enhance
them.
105. Decide how much of the background you
want.
Most of the time, you should avoid including
too much unnecessary background, as it will
cause your subject to look small and
insignificant. If you zoom in or move closer to
the subject, you can reduce the amount of
background that is shown. On the other
hand, if the background is interesting, you can
zoom out to show more of it.
108. Avoid mergers.
When a background object is directly
behind the subject, it may look like it is
growing out of the subject's head. This is
called a "merger," and it can ruin an
otherwise great photo. Try to find an
angle where the background is not
distracting.
109.
110. Be careful not to crop out body parts.
A common mistake is to crop out the tops
of people's heads or their feet. To prevent
this, include some extra space at the top
and bottom of the photo. You can move
farther away from the subject to give
yourself more space to work with. Of
course, if you're doing a close up, it's okay
to have some cropping.
111.
112. Try changing the distance from the
subject.
Sometimes a close-up works best, but
other times you may want a wider-angle
shot. You can experiment by moving
closer and farther away from your
subject, or by using your camera's zoom.
113.
114.
115. Try different angles.
You can try moving to the side or moving
the camera higher or lower to get a
different angle. This also lets you control
which background objects are in the
photo.
116.
117. Experiment.
Professional photographers may take
hundreds of photos just to get one great
shot. Although that may not be practical
in most situations, you may still want to
take a variety of shots so that you can pick
the best one later.
120. When you're taking a photo, you don't
have to place your subject exactly in the
center.
In fact, you can often make a photo look
more natural by placing your subject off
center.
You can do this by using a technique that
photographers call the rule of thirds.
123. Taking photos at night can be a
challenge, since your camera doesn't have
as much light to work with. Common
problems include photos that are blurry
(due to a slow shutter speed), grainy (due
to a higher ISO number), or dark (if your
camera can't compensate for the low light).
If your camera has a built-in flash, then
that can add a lot more light, but it can also
be harsh and unflattering.
126. TIPS TO GET BETTER RESULTS WHEN
TAKING PICTURES AT NIGHT
127. Use your camera's Night Portrait scene
mode.
Using this scene mode may help your
camera deal with low light.
128. Hold the camera as still as possible, or
use a tripod.
In low light, your camera will use a slower
shutter speed, which means your photos
may come out blurry. Keeping the camera
still will help to keep your photos sharp.
129. Use the flash if necessary.
Your camera's flash may not be the most
flattering light, but it's often better than
nothing. Many cameras also have a flash
that is designed to reduce red-eye, so
check to see if this is an option on your
camera. Also, keep in mind that the flash
usually won't help if your subject is more
than 15 feet away.
130. Adjust the exposure compensation.
If your photos are still coming out too
dark, you can adjust the exposure
compensation to increase the
brightness. Although this will make the
photos brighter, it won't actually improve
the quality, so it's not really a substitute
for more lighting.
131.
132. Try increasing the ISO setting.
If all else fails, you can manually raise the
ISO number in your camera's settings.
This may reduce blurriness, but it will also
make your photo more grainy.
135. Capturing a fast-moving subject can
be one of the biggest challenges for a
photographer. The key to capturing
any kind of fast motion is to use a
Faster Shutter Speed
136. DSLRs and bridge cameras allow you
to adjust the shutter speed manually.
If you're using a point-and-shoot
camera, you can select the Sports
Scene Mode or turn on motion
detection to help you capture action
shots.
141. Use the Sports scene mode.
This mode uses a fast shutter speed to
help you capture the action.
142. Turn on motion detection.
Many cameras have a motion detection
setting that can help to reduce blurring by
using a faster shutter speed when
necessary.
143. Don't wait for the perfect shot.
By that point, it may be too late. You may
need to take lots of extra photos in order
to capture the perfect shot.
144. Anticipate your subject's actions.
Try to aim the camera a little bit ahead of
the subject so they don't look like they're
running out of the photo. Also, moving
the camera with the subject can help to
reduce motion blur (although it may blur
the background).
147. Press the shutter button halfway down
ahead of time.
You'll need to give your camera time to
adjust the focus and exposure;
otherwise, you may miss the perfect shot.
You should press it halfway down a few
seconds before taking the photo, so that
your camera will be ready to capture the
exact shot that you want.
148. Use continuous shooting.
Continuous shooting will take several
photos every second as long as you are
holding down the shutter button. This can
help you capture the perfect shot, since
you don't have to wait for the exact
moment to take the photo. If you're using
the Sports scene mode, continuous
shooting may already be turned on.
Otherwise, you can go into your camera's
settings to turn it on.
153. Use the Landscape scene mode.
This mode automatically focuses
on infinity, which means it focuses as far
away as possible (and also keeps
the depth of field as large as possible).
This ensures that the background
landscape will be in focus, as well as the
foreground objects.
154. Use a smaller aperture if possible.
If you are using a DSLR or bridge
camera, use a smaller aperture (such as
f/16). This will increase the depth of field
and ensure that the background and
foreground are in focus.
Keep the camera level.
Landscapes usually look best when the
camera is level. It will be easier to keep
the camera straight if you are using a
tripod.
155. Try to find an interesting foreground
object.
Landscapes aren't just about the
background. If you can include an
interesting object in the foreground, it will
add a sense of depth to the photo.
157. Use the rule of thirds.
If the horizon is visible, try to place it near
one of the grid lines, instead of in the
middle of the photo.
158. Use leading lines.
Is there a road, sidewalk, river, or stream
that you can use in your landscape? These
are known as "leading lines" because they
help to lead the eye into the photograph.
160. Sometimes, you may want to take
close-up shots of
flowers, insects, food, or any kind of
small object. This is known as
Macrophotography.
161. In macrophotography, the object in
the photograph is bigger than life
size, so it can reveal details and
textures that you might not normally
see.
162. One of the biggest challenges with
close-up shots is focusing. As you
move the camera closer to an object,
the depth of field becomes
shallower. That means if the focus
isn't exactly right, your image may be
way out of focus.
166. Use the Close-up scene mode or Macro
mode.
These modes allow the camera to focus
on objects that are only a few inches
away. Also, the Close-up scene mode will
always focus on the center of the
image, which makes focusing easier.
167.
168. Watch the auto-focus.
Close-up shots have a shallower depth of
field, so it's very important to make sure
that the camera is focusing on the object
and not the background. If you're using
the Close-up scene mode, you can do this
by keeping the object in the center of the
frame.
169.
170. Once the camera focuses, don't move it.
If you move your camera after it
focuses, your photo may come out blurry.
If you want to move the camera, you'll
have to re-focus it and then take the
photo.
Avoid using flash.
Your camera's flash won't work on close-
up objects, so it's best to turn it off.
171. Try shooting in cloudy weather.
If you really want to bring out details in
your outdoor close-up shots, you might
want to try shooting in cloudy weather.
Bright sunlight can create dark shadows
that block out many of the details, but
sunlight that is filtered by clouds is much
softer.
