How do you use a digital camera properly? AGFAPHOTO

Small and compact, the digital camera is back in the spotlight with its numerous shooting options, its accessible price, its ease of grip and its intuitive side.

 

However, there are many digital camera models, and not all are the same: some have a more powerful zoom (called optical zoom) while others have a digital zoom, you will also find waterproof models and devices that allow for vlogging for example.

 

AgfaPhoto offers a full range of digital cameras at affordable prices. We have developed intuitive models that you can use both in a professional and everyday setting, to capture moments with friends or family.

 

Here’s everything you need to know to use your digital camera properly, no matter what kind of photo you want to take.

The return of the digital camera

 

The digital camera took its first steps at the very end of the 1970s: the first prototype weighed 3.5 kg! The novelty of this type of camera is that it has the ability to record the photos with an electronic sensor: the information received is digitally coded and then appears on a screen that allows all the photos taken to be viewed.

 

Be aware that “digital” refers above all to the method of capturing photos. In this category of cameras, however, a distinction must be made between the compact digital camera and the bridge. A bridge includes more advanced features than a compact; it is halfway between the digital compact and the SLR. A compact digital camera is more accessible to beginners and teens for example. It includes presets that allow you to get started very quickly and intuitively.

 

If the digital camera is back in the spotlight, it’s because it allows you to set aside smartphones, return to the essentials of photography and capture the moment. As we are less grafted to our phones, we can then take the time to capture holiday fun, a family celebration or a good time with friends.

 

Photos that are always successful with digital camera presets

 

The advantage of the digital camera is that it is easy to handle: when turned on, it is automatically preset and can be used directly.

 

A model like the Realishot DC5200 includes all the basics to create photos with ease. This digital camera has different presets, such as the “Auto” mode, which adapts the shoot to the environment you are in. Once you have your camera in hand, you can then access other settings to fine-tune things: for example, choose the “Night” mode or the “Landscape” mode to optimize your different shots depending on your situation. With a compact digital camera, you just need to select the right mode for the various settings that are essential to the environment around you to update, so you don’t miss a single photo!

 

Depending on the model you choose, you can also access settings made to facilitate your shots and get quality photos. The Realishot DC5500 includes, for example, the Face Detection function, a simple way to frame all your photos well without being a settings pro!

What types of photos can be taken with a digital camera?

 

The compact digital camera is an easy-to-access camera that allows you to take photos quickly, without having to know all the intricacies of pro photography. While there are of course different price and performance ranges, it is important to understand that a compact camera remains an everyday camera. With its affordable price and easy-to-handle features, a compact camera does not have the same use as a bridge or SLR for example.

A family and accessible camera

 

Thanks to its simplicity of use, the digital camera is a must in everyday photography. It can be entrusted to teenagers to capture their moments with friends in selfie mode, it can be used to keep track of great family moments, and keep track of a particular trip or event.

 

The digital camera is distinguished by its compact format, so it allows us to get rid of the use of the smartphone without being bulky. Thanks to the numerous presets, this type of camera does not require technical knowledge. It is a must for beginner photography.

 

Of course, there are several price ranges in the AgfaPhoto catalogue. The most powerful models allow you to go further in your shots and your understanding of the photo: for example, you can access a more powerful optical zoom (x10), opt for a waterproof model to create a memory of your seaside holiday or shoot videos in 4K and use the dual screen to create your best selfies.

A perfect camera for the professional world

 

Because it is fast to use, convenient, compact and with optimal memory, the digital camera is a format that is highly praised by professionals. For example, it allows you to create onsite photos that are easy to transfer to a computer, but also to enrich the product sheets of your professional website with ease. For this type of use, a model like the Realishot DC9200 is ideal: the x10 optical zoom allows you to capture your subjects cleanly and clearly, while 4K video and 24MP photos allow you to get quality shots.

 

AgfaPhoto is also aimed at content creators who want to document their social networks through vlogging. The Realishot range includes a compact camera pack that includes several types of zoom (digital 16X or optical 5X + 8X), a powerbank tripod and a microphone as well as a remote control. The VLG4K-DIG and OPT digital cameras allow you to make 4K videos for quality vlogging wherever you are!
