Yesterday after dinner my dad totally surprised me. He came downstairs carrying a camera, saying that he just bought it the afternoon. Guess what? Its a digi too!:D Yay! Now they'll be more pictures of Blueberry;) Hope you won't mind:p
I started taking pics right away. here's a really freaky one, lol
I'll need to take more though;) :p
Congrats! You are now officially a digital camera owner! :D
Get more pics up soon! :)
awesome!congratulations!
Congrats, I'm jealous. I wish I had a digital camera. Maybe for Christmas. *sigh*
Can I make a suggestion? For those of us who are poor and have old computers and slow dial-up service, it takes a LOOOONG time to open really big picture files. If you could make them smaller in the future, it would help us out. Thanks! :)
I know, they're big...but do you know how to make it smaller?:confused:Quote:

There are many programs, but I use a program called IrfanView to crop, resize and enhance all my photos. It's very easy to use and you can dowload it free here:
Irfanview
Have fun with your camera!

Most of the programs that come with the camera have a "resize" feature. For mine I go to "image" then "resize". I either make the photos 7" high or wide, and if you can only resize in pixels, make the height or width (whichever is bigger) 800 pixels.Quote:

Congrats on your cam!
congrats! what camera did you get? By looking at the attachment name, it looks like you got a sony. Am I right?
lol, yep its a Sony;) :p
Thanks for the advice, I'll try resizing the pics from now on:)
Cool!!:D
Congrats, I have two Sony digital cameras. If you have any questions the manual can't answer, I'll try and help.
I never install the software that comes with the cameras, I have Photoshop and I use Irfanview for resizing. It depends on which software came with your camera, though, but most have resizing features. Irfanview is easier to figure out and a great free program.
To get your pictures in focus, press halfway down on the shutter button to get the shot in focus (it can take a few seconds, wait for the beep) then press the shutter. That part is a little tricky, but will really help with focussing.
I will leave the graphics programs to the pros. Which I am not one of.;)
However, if you upload you pictures to Imagestation and post them directly into your post they will show up as a resonable size.
Good luck and have fun with the new camera. :D
