Digital Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 15

Shoot at high resolution

Quick tip today.  It is often tempting to lower the resolution of your camera to allow more images to be stored on your digital memory card.  With the price of memory so cheap nowadays, I suggest you buy a high capacity memory card so that you can always take photos at the camera’s highest resolution.  It’s easy to reduce file size later but you can’t add on resolution if you take a photograph which you’d love to enlarge at a later date.

N.B. Check your camera’s instruction manual on maximum memory card capacity as this can vary depending on the age of your camera.
