Canon Elph Meaning
★How do I use MACRO from my camera?★?

I have a plain digital camera (It’s Canon power shot SD790 IS DIGITAL ELPH)
ANYWAYS I’m taking an online photography class and I need to take pictures of my favorite things to do such as a picutre of me playing piano, reading, etc.
I have to take long shots, medium shots and close-ups.

For short you’re going to put your camera on macro mode (the little flower looking thing). This enables your camera to go really close up to your subject without going out of focus. Medium is just taking a picture of something that’s 3-5 feet away from you. And long shots is just taking a picture of something 11 or more feet away from you.

Canon Elph Meaning

It’s the music we love and the device we play it from. But, when it comes down to it, the most important aspect of it all, is how we’re going to listen to the sound. This is a world of music, and with a world of music, there are headphones. To date, millions of people use them. From little Johnny who’s seven, to grandpa Joe who’s seventy, everyone can enjoy a pair.

Full size stereo headphones are designed to fit comfortably on the head of any person while providing extra padding for additional comfort. You may not see too many people walking around with full size stereo headphones as they use their MP3 players and iPods. This is because full size headphones are meant to deliver full size sound and will need a source to deliver enough power to produce it. You may use your home stereo receiver as your source and a nice pair of full size headphones will deliver the utmost, amazing sound possible. From deep, rich bass to screaming highs and clear mids, it’s like a combination of being at a concert and a recording studio at the time. The sound produced can easily cause “headphone obsession”, better known as someone listening to music for hours on end. But if you have the volume turned up quite a bit, it’s always good not to listen for too long over a long period of time. A super lightweight magnesium frame makes them extremely comfortable while 50mm nano-composite high-definition drivers pump out sound that’s truly amazing. You can always buy a 3.5mm to 2.5mm headphone adapter so you may use them with your portable audio device, but the sound is going to be very low quality. These are and always will be best used with a high-powered home stereo receiver.

Wireless headphones are perfect for anyone who’s looking to “rid off” the wire. Have you ever walked away from your stereo receiver as the music cuts off and sometimes plays overly loud throughout the entire system because the headphone jack was pulled out? We’ve all been there. Wireless headphones eliminate this problem and allow you to walk around freely. Most wireless headphones last many hours before a recharge is needed, at which point you would simply set them down on their base unit. For anyone who is confused about what a base charger is, it’s similar to your house phone charger.

Mid-size headphones can be used with portable audio devices and home stereo receivers. These may include a headphone adapter so you may switch easily from an MP3 player to a home stereo receiver or even a computer so you may listen to your music library stored on your computer. Being so versatile, mid-size headphones are probably used more so than full size and wireless. The price range is going to be less as well. They may not deliver the ultra loud sound capabilities of full size and cordless convenience of wireless, but the versatility makes them worth the purchase. Some mid-size headphones include and in-line volume control switch which allows you to increase/decrease volume conveniently and even an in-line mute button to pause all sound if you need to allow a conversation without taking them off or hear something else for a minute.

You can spend as little or as much as you want for different brands and models, but there’s always going to be really nice, cheap headphones that you can buy for pretty much any music playing device.

What cameras work well indoors in low light/zoom that doesn’t cost a fortune?

I was taking pictures of my child in her school’s small auditorium and when I take the pictures even with flash, the pictures turn out dark. This happens when I zoom in as well. I don’t know much about cameras. I have a canon powershot elph camera and I know that these type of cameras aren’t meant for certain types of shooting conditions, but I would like to look for a better camera that will not give me this problem. I was thinking of purchasing the Canon SX10 IS due to it’s 20X optical zoom and other features. Will this camera take bright pictures even at a distance? What other cameras would you suggest? Thanks.

All of your problems are being caused by trying to exceed the limitations of your camera. Compact digital cameras – digicams – are handicapped by a slow lens, a tiny sensor, a weak flash and shutter lag (the time between when you press the shutter release and the time the camera takes the picture).

Before buying a new camera, check the Owner’s Manual for the one you have and see if it has an Auto Exposure Lock feature. If so, then you can meter at the stage, lock the exposure, and then shoot from anywhere you want. This will probably require a higher ISO setting (800 should be sufficient) but the idea is to keep the shutter speed high so you can safely hand-hold the camera. Plus, with most digicams you lose light as you zoom in so a higher ISO will compensate for this.

Your best solution would be a DSLR with a fast lens – perhaps a 100mm f2 or f2.8. Of course, then you’d have to “zoom” the old-fashioned way – move in closer or step back.
