Here are some other ways to save the juice and avoid running out of power:
 | Limit the use of LCD - The LCD feature consumes batteries quickly. So use the viewfinder whenever possible to frame a picture. And check the picture in the LCD only when there is a question of whether or not you got the shot. |
| Turn off the camera before auto shut off - Develop the habit of turning off the camera immediately when you're finished taking a picture. That means OFF - "sleep mode" doesn't count. You'll save a significant amount of battery power. |
| Use an AC adapter - An AC adapter lets you stop worrying about battery consumption. You can power the camera from a wall socket to transfer your images to your computer without draining your batteries. This is especially useful when you're downloading photos or viewing them on your camera's screen, both of which require plenty of power. |
memory and storage basics
A digital camera's storage capacity is finite. Once you've filled it, you
have to transfer your images to a computer before you can start taking
pictures again. Even though your camera probably came with a memory card,
it's a good idea to invest in additional, higher-capacity memory
cartridges. This will allow you to shoot more pictures before you have to
transfer images to your computer, and you can take pictures of higher
quality.
archiving photos on dvd
Each picture you transfer to your computer takes up space on the hard
drive, and over time it will fill up. This means you'll have to buy and
install a new drive; and if it crashes, all of your photo memories could
be lost forever.
Instead of filling up your hard drive, try saving your pictures to a re-writeable
DVD. DVDs can hold up to seven times more than a CD, and each one can hold
about 15,000 photo-quality pictures. Plus, they're easy to store and
share.
caring for your digital camera
Digital cameras can be very susceptible to dirt, dust and debris
- gunk that can eventually degrade image quality and performance. Clean
your gear periodically, especially when you've been shooting in an
environment with more than its share of dirt or sand. Keep a
non-scratching lens-cleaning cloth or tissue handy, as well as a small can
of compressed air. An occasional cleaning will keep your camera clicking
happily for years to come.
weatherproofing ideas
Your camera prefers the same kind of weather that most people do - not too
hot, not too cold. So keep it covered under a towel when you're sunning at
the beach. And snuggle it under your jacket when shooting photos on the
slopes. To protect it from water, use a plain old plastic bag. Just make a
hole for the lens to poke out from, and use a rubber band to fasten the
bag tightly over the lens. Presto! - a miniature rain jacket. And always,
always, always cover the lens with a cap to protect it when you're not
using your camera.
updating camera driver software
A driver is a piece of software that communicates with a peripheral. There
are drivers for printers, cameras, scanners, etc. If your drivers aren't
updated, you may get a lot of error messages. HP regularly updates drivers
and offers new versions that can significantly improve performance. You
can automatically sign up to receive driver updates at HP's website (see
"learn more" below).
accessories you'll want to check out
A digital camera is capable of capturing great photos. Combine it with one
of these accessories and it is capable of so much more.
| photo printer - What good is taking great digital photos if you can't print and share them? A color inkjet printer and specially formulated photo paper can deliver near-professional quality. And a photo inkjet optimized for printing digital pictures can give you even more than quality: Special features let you create frame-ready prints, wallet-sized miniatures and much more. |
| photo editing software - HP often bundles basic photo-editing software with its products, so you're all ready for editing. You can rotate, resize and crop your photos, and make changes to the brightness and contrast, etc. But if you really want to play with those pixels, a more advanced software - like Adobe's Photoshop and the more affordable Photoshop LE - are the standards among graphic artists. There are also less expensive programs that give you almost as much editing power, like Adobe PhotoDeluxe. |
| carrying case - Not only do cases protect a camera, but they often have built-in pockets for batteries and memory cards. It's a nice way to both protect your camera and keep all your gear together |
| tripod - No matter how steady your hands are, a tripod will help you to get clearer, more consistent shots every time. Plus, it will help expand your picture-taking opportunities. Close-ups, night photography - all easier with a tripod! |
