Photograpghy Quick Tips

Quick tips as they come.
  • Exposure Value - Your Exposure Value (EV) switch is the quickest way to adjust the exposure of an image.   Usually a switch with the symbols [-/+].  This works in automatic mode and will change the aperture [-] by half the current value or [+] double the aperture size quickly.   If you are taking a picture of a bright scene and you suspect that highlights may be burned out, reduce the aperture value by pressing the [-] button one or twice.   It is generally better to lose shadow details rather that highlights in a shot.  

  • Anti Shake compensation - If you are buying a new camera and you intend that you will be taking low light or indoor pictures, look for a model that has a version of shake compensation.  If you ever find you are taking pictures that are blurry, the chances are that this is due to camera shake.   In low light the shutter may be set low to allow enough light in to expose the scene correctly.  It is very difficult to avoid camera shake when the shutter speeds fall below about 1/60th of a second.   Traditionally a tripod or other support is necessary for these situations.  Using shake compensation the image is electronically stabilization to enable you to get a clear shot in low light situations.







    Both of these compact or consumer cameras have anti shake technology built in.  As you can see this technology is available at all prices ranges
