After yesterday’s long one, I’m keeping it short today. I’m going to try to break up the Camera Parts series since they’re pretty technical. Today’s tip can even be used by most of you point and shoot camera people. You know who you are.

Hey photographers. Daniel Roberts here for FreshEdgePhoto.com. Now, I love the new, big LCDs in cameras these days. I can remember my first D60 camera. It had this little postage-stamp size LCD on the back. Now I’ve got the 3-inch 5d Mkii, and it really helps you see sharpness, but only to a point. Even still today, I’ll look at the back of it and think “Oh that’s sharp.” Then get home and go, “Oh it wasn’t sharp.”

So here’s what you do. All the cameras just about, you can set a button to zoom in. Set that button. Do whatever you have to do. When you’re on location, zoom in and make sure you’ve got the shot, if it’s an important shot. If not, go back and take it again with different settings or different something. Make sure you get tack-sharp photos.

So there’s your tip for the day. Always check your focus in-camera. As always, my name is Daniel Roberts. You can find more of me at FreshEdgePhoto.com. Have a nice day.
