Camera Tests - How to use your digital camera

This article is about camera tests and works also as a small guide for using a digital camera.

Many people doesnt know to pick the right camera. If you want a digital camera, go for a camera, that has at least 4 mega pixels and a 3x optical zoom. A 4 mega pixel resolution is an absolut minimum requirement, if you would like to submit your pictures to a sales site.

You should choose a optical zoom, instead of a digital zoom. The reason for this is, that digital zoom will create extra pixels based on exsisting ones to fill your photos with unuseful "paint".

Go use and investigate the scenemodes. Almost every camera today has a scene mode. Use the right scenemode according to the kind of photos, you want to produce.
A good tip for taken pictures of children, is putting the camera on sports mode, which allows suddenly movements.

Many photographs wants to use a tripod. I dont. I want to have the camera in my hands, so I get suddenly and quick shots. These shots are to the most a bit more funny, than having made pictures from a tripod.

Learn to use the white balance button, if the camera has one.

Learn to use the flash to control background contrast.


If it is possibel, then go planning your photos in the favour of light and contrast.


You have to do several camera tests on your new camera, to make it works the best to you.
