expose tricky scenes, and a video mode is perfect for taking short movie clips.  More advanced cameras like the Samsung Pro or Canon EOS models have further manual features so you can take control of the way the camera shoots.

Memory storage 

All cameras store images on either built-in memory chips or removable memory cards, measured in megabytes (Mb). There are several different kinds of memory cards, and you should budget extra (around £15) for at least a 512Mb card to store hundreds of images. Remember, unlike film, you can use memory cards over and over again!

Using Digital Cameras 

It pays to spend some time learning how to use your digital camera by studying the instructions until you’re thoroughly familiar with it’s operation. The next stage is to learn how to take good pictures so that they will have impact. If you watch a professional photographer at work and you'll notice two things. First, that they spend as much time thinking as they do actually shooting, and second, that they move about and experiment with different angles and subjects.


Ask yourself what it is about the scene in front of you that makes you want to take a photo. If it's the colours, move around until the sun strikes them perfectly. If it's just the smiling faces of your friends, try to make them laugh even more - or catch them unawares instead of posing your shots. Always check the screen playback to check they haven’t got their eyes closed.
