For those of you who are regular readers of my weekly photo tips, you know the vast majority are written for users of 35mm SLR’s. With this in mind, it’s time I give some props to all the point and shooters of the world. Now before all you regular readers grab the mouse and click on another link, read on. Isn’t it about time you had some fun with a point and shoot? Wouldn’t it be nice to get some great shots and not have to lug around your 35mm equipment? Haven’t you thought about getting one or using the one you already bought that is reserved for the others in the family? I’m dedicating the entire month of July’s tips to those who sport and take pride in their digital point and shoots. So spread the word to your point and shoot friends, spouses, and significant others to read the tips each week in July. I also encourage you to look into classes sponsored by the Panasonic Digital Photo Academy. They offer an array for all levels, including one solely dedicated to teaching students how to use their digital point and shoots. Check out www.digitalphotoacademy.com for more information.
When you zoom a lens to its longest focal point, everything gets magnified in size. This is fantastic as you can bring the subject closer without having to move from your position. The trade off is as the subject is magnified, so are any mistakes made by the photographer. Longer focal lengths mean needing to hold the camera steadier to prevent blurry looking images. This is where optical stabilization built into many of the newer point and shoots comes in handy. Check to see if your camera has this feature. If not, ask for it in the next one you purchase. It helps steady camera movement when shooting at longer focal lengths. Also with regards to longer focal length shooting, beware of the dreaded digital zoom feature. Make sure the rating for the focal length setting at which the camera is advertised is for the optical zoom, not digital zoom. While it’s true a digital zoom provides a more magnified subject, what it’s doing is cropping into the image. As you continue to zoom the lens, all you’re doing is discarding pixels that surround your subject. The simple translation of this technical aspect is the picture quality suffers a lot.
