Digital cameras have become a hot product nowadays due to their falling prices and everyone with some cash to spare is buying one now. But more often than not people don't really know much about digital photography (or photography in general) and how to work with the options that cameras offer. Most of them just point and shoot.
Although it may work fine in some cases, for others you would have to do some fiddling with the settings to get a decent picture. But if you're serious about getting a good shot you need to understand a bit of the basics. For instance, do you really know what white balance is? Or what the ISO setting does? Or the difference between digital and optical zooms? Well, if the answer to all those questions is a solid "No", then fear not, for today we will be discussing some basics of shooting with a digital camera.
Do note that these are only the basics and meant for absolute beginners. So if you are a professional photographer, you may feel like you have revisited kindergarten. Also, no amount of fiddling with the settings will help if you lack the basic knowledge of what looks good or bad, or if you lack the photographer's eye. With that little disclaimer out of the way, let's get on with this guide.
