Tips for photo taking with automatic digital cameras

To make picture taking even easier for those holiday memories, digital cameras, such as the Canon PowerShot or Ixus series, come equipped with Special Scene Modes, manual settings and accessories for any situation. And of course, a few photo taking tips always help.

Snowy Situations: If you’ll be outside making Frosty the Snowman in the snow, try using the Snow Scene mode to shoot clear and bright snow scenes without darkening the subject or leaving an unnatural bluish tint. This will automatically adjust the white balance and compensate for the bright environment.

Indoor Moments: While you’re inside capturing the family opening their gifts or gathering around the dinner table, try the Indoor scene mode. Since lighting may be limited indoors, this scene mode will help reduce blur and improve color accuracy when shooting.

Capturing the Activity: The family’s over to celebrate the holidays and it’s a little hectic with the children running around, but don’t worry. Remember to select the Kids & Pets scene mode to freeze fast-moving subjects to capture those special shots, such as your nephew trying to run away from Grandma under the mistletoe.

Bundle up for Winter: If you’ll be outdoors in the unpredictable winter weather, consider using a Waterproof/All Weather Casing for your digital camera. This is especially helpful in protecting your camera from the elements if you’re skiing or snowboarding on the slopes this season. Most digital cameras have a special housing that allows you to operate all buttons and protect your camera.
