It’s important not to confuse these with focus modes, which may have names like Single-shot or Continuous. Some of these are designed to focus on static subjects, some for moving subjects. We’ll discuss these more in ssss1.

Colour space

Hidden in the menus of most DSLRs is a little setting called colour space. Usually this is set to sRGB. Unless you’re sure you need the alternative (AdobeRGB), this is best left alone, as most online/high street printers and all monitors and projectors are not able to display the larger range of colours that AdobeRGB allows. But if you produce your own high-quality prints you may find it useful to change this setting – however, you’ll need a good understanding of colour management in this case! We’ll talk a little more about colour management in ssss1.

Lenses

Don’t neglect the lens; it’s at least as important to the quality of the image as the camera itself. DSLR cameras have the big advantage of interchangeable lenses, so if your needs change (for example, if you discover you’d like a wider view for landscape shooting) you can accommodate this. On other cameras, you’re stuck with what you’ve got.
