What's wrong with my picture? Maybe it's blurry, or the people in it have "red eye." Or perhaps there just wasn't enough light when the image was captured. Despite the digital revolution in cameras-with the ability to instantly look at a snapshot and know whether it's a keeper, without having to print poor shots-it can be disappointing to know that a priceless moment has been immortalized with a lousy picture. It is also unfortunate when precious photo opportunities are missed because of dead batteries or cameras.
First things first. Don't blame the photographer. In many cases, the camera may be the source of your frustrations. While it may be true that digital is digital and what you see is what you get, there are definite distinctions between cameras. Many of the latest models have built-in features that can help eliminate the traditional problems faced by amateur shutterbugs.
When purchasing a digital camera, consumers should consider their needs, such as what type of photos they will be taking and where, how much they are willing to spend, and what past camera experiences they have had, both positive and negative.
Having a camera that reduces a majority of picture-taking stress is essential. Take, for instance, the Nikon COOLPIX L6 digital camera. Users will enjoy the L6's unprecedented ability to take 1,000 pictures on a single set of Energizer® e2® Lithium® AA batteries (included), the most of any camera in its class.
In addition to having the world's longest battery life, the COOLPIX L6 is a 6.0-megapixel camera that results in beautiful printouts and has a bright 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD screen to view the menus and images.
Like every camera in the COOLPIX family, the L6 is equipped with Nikon's In-Camera Image Innovations to fix common photo problems. This system includes:
• Face-Priority AF Mode, which automatically finds and focuses on a subject's face;
• In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which automatically corrects red eye; and
• D-Lighting, an innovation that automatically corrects images with insufficient light. Furthermore, the L6 is equipped with Blur Warning, which alerts the user when an image is blurred, and Best Shot Selector, a feature that automatically identifies and saves the sharpest image from a series.
