Polaroid Digital Camera Tips, Tricks, Terms, and Techniques

Here are more tips for taking better photos:
•
To take the BEST photos that your camera can produce, use its highest resolution
and quality settings. (But be aware that these highest-quality photos will take up
much more storage space in the camera and on your computer.)
and quality settings. (But be aware that these highest-quality photos will take up
much more storage space in the camera and on your computer.)
•
Keep the sun behind you or at your side. Avoid having the sun directly overhead.
•
Do not use the flash outdoors. This produces an overexposed image.
•
In low light conditions or when using a self-timer, use a tripod to avoid camera
movement during exposure.

•
Avoid extreme temperatures, which can affect battery performance.
•
Keep the subject within the flash range specified in the camera manual.
•
Avoid shooting toward reflective objects to avoid hot spots in your photos. Turn
the flash off if you cannot avoid shooting toward reflective objects.

Periodically clean the lens, LEDs, and LCD panels with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do
not use cleaning solutions or chemically-treated tissues.

What is photo “resolution”?
Resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital photo. A 640x480-pixel photo
contains four times the number of “picture elements” (and hopefully four times the
image detail) as a 320x240 photo. So the 640x480-pixel photo produces a better
looking image and a better quality printout. But, the 640x480 photo also takes up
more storage space in the camera’s internal memory, on a memory card, or on your
PC’s hard disk.

What is photo “quality”?
A digital photo’s quality depends on both its resolution (defined above) and the JPEG
file compression that the camera applies when you take the photo. This JPEG
compression is measured in terms of how many pixels captured by the camera’s image
sensor are replaced by one pixel in the stored image file. Less compression produces a
better looking image that takes up more storage space. Many Polaroid digital cameras
offer you several photo-quality options.

Generally, if you photograph the same scene at a series of camera settings (ranging
from the lowest resolution and JPEG quality all the way up to the highest), you may
notice the following differences as resolution and “quality” increase:

You may notice increasing image detail, both when the photos are displayed on
your PC monitor and when they are printed.
