Digital Photography - Ideas for Experimentation

Experiment with Compression

SUMMARY: You may be able to take more photos with your digital camera - here's how.

If you own a digital camera, you may know that you can compress your images in order to store more of them on a floppy or memory card. Be sure to experiment with this compression rating to balance the image quality versus the amount of photos that will fit on one storage medium. My camera has a four-star system; the more stars that an image uses, the lower the compression rating, the more space the image takes on the storage medium, and supposedly the better the picture. Through experimentation, I have found that three star photos are almost indistinguishable from four-star photos. Knowing this lets me store far many more photos per storage medium.
