Let's go through these ways to learn about your new digital camera one at a time.

  1. Read your digital camera's owner's manual While this might seem like an obvious no-brainer, the fact is that the majority of people do not read their user's manuals.They are long and potentially boring, and often we simply don't have the time.However, carefully reading your user's manual is how you can be introduced to your new digital camera.This is also how you can discover everything that your digital camera has to offer. Make sure that you read your user's manual with your new digital camera close by.This will let you experiment with different settings while you are reading the user's manual.
  2. Regularly check your camera manufacturer's website for updates and tips on your camera
    Manufacturer's will regularly update their websites with information about their cameras.
    There will be updates on different camera accessories available.Oftentimes, there is also important information about warranties, repairs, problems, and tips for using your cameras.Here is a list of the websites for the major camera manufacturers:
  3. Take a class to learn about your digital camera- There are a number of different classes that you can take in order to learn more about your new digital camera.Some of these classes can be found in your local community.Contact your city offices to find out about adult education courses that are offered through the city.Your local community college may also offer courses in digital photography for different levels of skill.
    You can also find numerous different courses about digital photography and how to use digital cameras online.These courses often run from about 4 weeks to 8 weeks, and cost varying amounts of money.You can take courses on a range of different subjects, from learning about exposure to architectural photography to nature photography to an overview of photography skills for beginners, intermediates, and advanced photographers.
  4. Experiment- The best way to learn more about your new digital camera is to experiment with it.While you can simply point and shoot and you will end up with pretty good photos, knowing how to use the different settings and modes on your camera and being able to use those settings to your advantage depending on your situation will help you achieve fantastic photos.Here are a few different settings that you should experiment with in order to find the best way to use your new digital camera.

    1. Experiment with compression Compression has to do with how small you make the data size (not the image itself) of your photos.The more you can compress your images, the more photos you can take with your digital camera.However, if you compress your images too much, then you will lose resolution and picture quality.Experiment with your camera's compression rating so that you can find a good balance between picture quality and the data size of your images.Many cameras have a four star compression rating: the more stars assigned to an image, the lower the compression rating and the better the image. You should experiment to see if you can get by with three star images, or if you want four-star images.
    2. Get rid of red eye
      One of the problems with all cameras is getting red eye.Red eye is pretty common whenever you take a picture with the flash.So check your camera to see if it has a setting called "Flash - Remove Red Eye."If your camera doesn't have this setting, you can simply remove the red eye plaguing your photos by using a basic photo editing program.
    3. Exposure time
      You can get varied and interesting photos by changing your camera's exposure time.During the day, you only need a short exposure time.But at night, because there is so much less light, the exposure time needs to be longer.Changing the exposure time can help you take great pictures of moving water, action shots, or anything else.Experiment with exposure time in different settings and see what results you can achieve.
