Tip of The Week
Here's an important tip you should always remember - take your photos in a high-resolution file format whenever possible. We all know that one way to squeeze more photos onto a memory card is to set the camera at a low resolution. Now, that’s OK if all you want to do is email photos. But if you want to make large prints, then you’re in trouble.Always keep the resolution turned up to its highest JPEG or TIFF setting - you'll be glad you did when a great photo opportunity comes along.
