Tips for New Camera Owners

Light Meter by Lisa K. Berton

I’m going to quickly give you a rundown on everything you need to know. Ready?

1. Read the manual

2. Charge your lithium-ion battery. If the camera takes AA, get yourself rechargeables.

3. Keep your camera safe and protected in a padded or hard shell camera bag.

4. All digital point and shoots have some delay. Newer cameras have faster processors. One way to help speed things up is to use a faster memory card.

5. Cameras do not like liquids or sand.

6. Read the maunal. It’s worth being repeated.

7. That built-in flash only goes 8-10 feet.

8. If you use any night mode, you’ll need a tripod.

9. Cameras have a tendency to get drunk on New Year’s Eve, fall down, and require a trip to the repair center. Don’t let your camera drink.

10. Do not wipe the LCD screen with your clothes. Use a microfiber cloth.
