There are many things that must be considered in a buying a camera. One of the main considerations is the megapixel. The camera’s resolution is also known as the megapixel.

Thus, you may want to have a camera that has the greater pixel but this may be difficult since those cameras may be too expensive for you. Thus you may need to find a camera that has good pixels but it will also not hurt your budget too much.

Using a Digital Camera is so much fun nowadays when compared to using a film camera. The benefit of reviewing the photo on the LCD is my favorite feature that I enjoy the most. The digital camera tips that I’m going to share to you will be primarily for Digital SLR camera users. But people using the point and shoot camera can benefit too because some of this tiny cameras are so much advancing that you can find some of the features of digital SLR.

My best advice for beginners who are in a budget is to try to buy a used Digital SLR camera in eBay. That’s where I bought my backup Camera a Canon 10D which I am still using. There are some flaws in it but for the most part it’s still unbeatable in quality compared to most of the newer point and shoot cameras.

Here are some of the best digital camera tips I’m going to share to you according to my experience.

1) Avoid using autofocus in your digital SLR Camera. I know a lot of my fellow photographers will disagree with me but hey just try it, and you will see the difference. Just remember there’s no more waste of film. We are living in a digital world. I mean you’re using a sophisticated Digital Camera. The best camera setting is to use only one focusing point. This is especially helpful in doing closeup photography. But for sports I would recommend using autofocus.

2) Use the Manual Mode always in your digital SLR camera. Some will say, I got descent shots with full automatic mode, why should I switch in manual mode? But if you are going to try it you will surely discover that your photos will look more professional. But my advice is to learn first the basic function of your DSLR Camera. Read the manual of your camera or read some books related to using a digital SLR Camera.

3) My third digital camera tips is to experiment with using custom white balance in your camera. When I’m shooting indoors I sometimes encounter mixture of lights. Some restaurants use tungsten lighting and daylight. Using automatic white balance doesn’t really work. I switch my camera to custom white balance and take a photo of a white wall or the white gown of the bride to base my white balance. This is the secret, try to lower your flash output to about minus 1 before you take a picture for the custom white balance. The result depends on different models of cameras and Flash. Try it and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the result.

4) Avoid direct Flash on the subject, in particular, to paint portraits. Or Bounce flash memory or use softlighting Gary Fong Lightsphere, I will speak shortly. Some now Bounce flash cards, which can be used to soften the light. This is an interesting feature.
