Digital SLR Q&A

A basic but important question about digital SLR cameras is w hen you should charge your batteries before leaving on a trip. The vast majority of modern digital cameras rely on lithium-ion batteries, and these don't have the memory problems cause by "topping off" somewhat charged batteries.

They also discharge quite slowly when not in use, so that means you have the flexibility to charge all of your batteries before you leave without waiting for them to run down first. Another common question has to do with which settings are best for capturing action shots so they don't turn out blurry. To freeze the action, you need to use your camera's strength, which is its extreme configurability. You'll want to use Shutter Priority mode, and dial in the fastest shutter speed possible, increasing the ISO if needed. Purchasing a faster lens and using a panning technique to freeze your subject can also help.
