Don't add frills

Cameras nowdays some out with lots of extra gadgets. Themost common one is to add a time/date onto your photo.


Now while they help to sell more cameras, actually usingthese extra 'features' can adversely affect your photos.


Find out why here:


Some manufactures give you a feature that can imprint the current date and time onto your image. Or they offer to imprint other stats like the current exposure settings, or shot number.

Turn these off!

You don't want anything to distract you or your viewer from the subject of your photo.

Modern digital cameras record the time and date the shot was taken anyway in a separate part of the image file anyway, and most digital printing places will stamp the back of the image with the time and date the shot was taken so you can always see it.
