You bought a digital camera and brought it home. But the joy is overshadowed by the fact that the device does not work or the pictures are of poor quality. Do not immediately run to the store and make a scandal. Take it easy and carefully read the instructions that come with each camera.
If the equipment does not show signs of life, first charge the battery. After that, make sure that the camera is turned on and the memory card is in place. This will be indicated by indicators on the LCD or in the viewfinder. What each symbol means is described in the user manual.
Now about how to configure. A camera of any manufacturer provides automatic shooting mode. Each company specified mode has its own name, but in most cases it is the letter A (auto). Many people call this option intelligent shooting. How to configure the camera for shooting in automatic mode is written at the beginning of the user manual.
By setting the camera to automatic mode, it is advisable to immediately indicate to the camera that the images must be saved on a memory card. The menu should also set the image size. It is desirable that they be no lower than 1915x1285. This is the optimal size for printing photos 10x15 and 13x18 cm. The larger the size, the better the picture. How to adjust the camera to a certain size of images is usually indicated in the manual, but you can search for it through the menu button. Typically, image options go first in the list.

to be. A technician in this mode needs time to assess the situation and self-adjust. Therefore, after choosing a frame, lock the device in your hands, then exhale and gently press the shutter button, but not completely.

In just two seconds, the subject will become sharper on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder, and the picture may fade. Do not be afraid. So the device signals that it is tuned to the conditions of placement and lighting of the object. Now you can smoothly squeeze the button to the end.

Canon, Nikon or any other camera’s camera.
