Take a look at the most common cameras in
the local computer or camera shop, and you??™ll find that many models are designed to record
movies, take panoramic photographs, record sound, and do a host of other things as well. It
seems that camera manufacturers think that if you like a camera, you??™ll like a camera that washes
your dishes and plays music even better.
Most of this book concentrates on how to use your camera to take good pictures. A lot of the
extra features that you find on cameras are, in my opinion, usually just gimmicks. On the other
hand, every once in a while you may find a useful, creative application for one of the gizmos
built into your camera. And that??™s where this chapter comes in: look here for information about
some of the other cool things your camera can do.
And that??™s not all. This chapter is about pushing your camera to its limits. That means we??™ll
talk about how to do unusual things with your camera, such as use it to perform time-lapse
photography.
Get Creative
Your camera probably comes with a couple of photo modes besides the ones that we have
already discussed. The most common features you??™ll encounter in digital cameras are additional
color modes. By setting your camera to the appropriate mode, you might be able to take pictures
in black and white, for instance, or perhaps with a sepia tone.
