Master Your Camera

My SLR...

To consistently produce the best photos with your digital camera, learn all that you can about it. Today’s
sophisticated digital cameras are amazing. Even pocket point-and-shoot cameras enable you to take excellent photographs with their superb automatic features and high sensor and lens quality. However, most digital cameras offer many additional features worth learning so that you gain important creative
control over how photos are taken and ensure that you get exactly what you want.
One of the best features of all digital cameras is the LCD screen that lets you review the image and
camera settings immediately after taking the photo. This enables you to check that you have composed
the photo as you want and that the camera settings were set as you expected. Some cameras even
include a swivel or rotating LCD for more versatility. Many digital cameras even provide a histogram to
give you a visual impression of the exposure. These review features encourage you to make adjustments
while you are still there with your subject.
