My camera…

So many of you have asked about it. First of all, it’s NOT new. I have had this camera for over a year and before that I had it’s previous version. The camera is 7.1 mega pixels which is nothing special now a days. You can even get it for under $200.00! Check herefor the places it’s offered, I got mine through Dell. My favorite thing of all… get this… the battery! It’s a flat rechargeable battery that last forever  (read: a long time) and you just plug it into the wall to recharge!

Now for the photos/settings – Here are the things I discovered:

Digital Macro, this feature is for closeups! All I did was hit the “func. set” button on the back and highlighted the flower icon and it was all set to take closeups. Here are some examples.

The next feature I dicovered is called “color accents”. My camera did this by itself:

This feature is called “vivid”. Here is the same photo in “vivid red”, “vivid blue” and “vivid green”:

Of course here is my favorite “vivid blue” thing:

Other features that I have yet to play with:

The SCN mode (special scenes)- Fireworks, Beach, Snow, kids and pets, Underwater, Foliage, Aquarium and Indoor. (I get to use the beach mode this week!)

I did use the “kids and pets” mode and figured it had something to do with motion so I told Luke to run around the yard… Pretty steady photo!

There is also a sepia and black and white mode, a “portrait” mode which pans out the shot to take a group photo and a mode that allows you to give your skin a tan! Here is a quick example of that: (Tatum would not want you to see this crazy hair but she was my demo) Here is Tatum with the “lighter skin tone” and the “darker skin tone” modes.

By then it was starting to get dark so I put my camera away. There are tons more features but… that’s my camera!
