Digital Camera Battery – Why Do Some AA Batteries Take Longer to Recharge?

26 Aug

Here are four reasons why it may take longer to recharge certain sets of AA batteries.

If you have a large collection of sets of AA rechargeable batteries (do not mix and match brand and battery mAHs of AA recharcheable batteries!), you may wonder why some batteries take longer to recharge than others. Here are a couple of reasons:

Digital Camera Memory – Accidentally Washed a Memory Card?

26 Aug

What to do if a digital camera memory card accidentally made its way through the washer.

You know that you should do whatever you can to keep digital camera memory from water. However, what if you placed a card in your pocket, then accidentally ran it inside some clothes through the washer? Is the card worthless, and are all the photos unrecoverable?

When modifying your digital photos with such software, you’re bound to come across slider controls, whether you are modifying brightness, contrast, color balance, color saturation, etc. Sliders are also popular with filters. These controls let you fine-tune adjustments so that you can either change your photos a little or a lot.

When using sliders to adjust image features, especially if the sliders are linked to an auto-preview feature so you can see the results of your changes before actually applying them, consider going ‘all out’ and moving the sliders all the way to one side. Instead of merely modifying your photos with a 5% increase of contrast, 5% color shift from red to blue, etc., view dramatic changes to your photos. This may make it easier to see the effects of the color or filter, and then you can move the slider back to get the results you really want….
