Digital SLR camera is my favourite digital camera. I have used my dSLR camera for one year time. I have learnt a lot of things about this camera and the technique how to use it. Therefore, i wish to share my experience to other people so that they can really get benefit on it. I hope that the tips below are useful to everyone.

  1. ISO is one of the most important features on SLR cameras, many beginners have no idea about it. It stands for International Organization for Standardization, and it used to have to be based upon film rate. In general terms, ISO will allow you to improve your photos in poor conditions. For example, in a dark room, you can improve the quality of your photo greatly by increasing the ISO setting. SLR cameras generally allow you to enhance the ISO setting to 1600.

Many of us have experienced those photos taking at night, which you can barely see a thing, or if you can, it is very blurry. This is because the camera lens is opened on an automatic setting, which takes too long avoid movement of the user's hand. This produces a blur image. When you increase the ISO setting, the amount of time the lens open is reduced, therefore reducing the blur. Every time you move slightly, your photo will be blurred. ISO helps overcome this problem. Experiment a bit and find the right ISO setting for different situations.

  1. Mount the camera. Well, I don't exactly mean mount, but place it on somewhere. If you find yourself in a situation where the photos are blurry even after enhancing the ISO setting, put the camera on something. You can put it on a table, chair, etc... This will improve the stability of the camera, thus creating a much less blurry picture.

  2. Buy a good tripod. Never try to save money when buying a tripod. Cheap ones will break fast, and you will be out buying a new one in no time. Besides, cheap ones will not function properly. By this I mean that they will not put your camera at the correct angle, will move due to wind, and so on. Pay good money for a tripod, and you will see that you will get your money worth. Manfrotto is known for making some of the finest tripods, so definitely have a look at those. A good tripod should have a ball head, should be quite light, and would be best if it is easy to store (possibly in your backpack).

Getting the perfect camera is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you.
