Digital cameras truly are a modern marvel. They're quick, highly portable, easy to use, and produce instant results. You can use one pretty much any time, anywhere.
And with digital images, you don't have to hide away in a dark closet and handle noxious chemicals to crop and edit your prints. Now, we eliminate red-eye, and fix contrast, etc., with the click of the mouse.
As I wrote in Digital Cameras and You, the convenience and quality of digital cameras has all but done away with 35mm film.
Tip of the day: Speed up your digital camera's boot time by disabling the splashscreen.
Almost every digital camera displays some kind of company logo when you turn it on. This is wasted time and energy that does nothing but slow you down.. and might even make you miss your shot. If your make/model allows it, (and most do) turn this "feature" off.
The exact method will vary from camera to camera, but typically the option your looking for is in the General Settings area of the main menu.
The phrasing may be "show" or "enable", and you want to un-select this. And, it may be labeled "welcome screen" or "splashscreen", or even, "startup screen".
(If you just cannot locate the menu option, consult the manufacturer's Website.)
This quick settings change, will give you a faster power-up, and allow you to be more responsive in your picture taking.
