      Getting started with your digital camera

      Getting started with your digital cameraWhat to do first to start creating beautiful picturesDigital cameras have really come a long way from the somewhat clunky, slow creatures of years ago. Today, you can get a pretty good compact digital camera for under $100 and an excellent DSLR for less than $1,000. Whether you're an aspiring professional, a serious amateur, or just picking up your first point-and-shoot camera, we're here to help you through the first steps you should take to get started. see also Most Wanted Unique iPhone Photography Accessories to complete this tutorial.

      Getting started with your digital cameraUnpack your new camera. As you're digging through all that foam and plastic wrapping, keep track of everything that came with your camera. Don't throw away the packaging just yet! Chances are there won't be any problems with your shiny new camera, but you'll want to keep the original packaging just in case.

      Make a note of whatever accessories your camera came with (or which might have been included in a gift set, if you're lucky!) and what you might need to purchase separately. Did your camera come with a memory card? What about a carrying case? Additional lenses, if it's a DSLR?

      Read the manual. If you're anything like me, you probably want to just turn on your new toy and start shooting. However, it's always best to at least make a token effort to read through the manual. Your new camera probably has a lot of bells and whistles, and you'll get a lot more out of it if you take the time to read about everything it can do.

      Start with the basics. Despite what I just said above about reading the manual, most basic cameras today are easy to use right out of the box. Look for the fully automatic setting, usually indicated by a green box on your camera's setting dial. This lets the camera make all the decisions for you in terms of exposure, flash, and so on and lets you just start shooting!

      Getting started with your digital cameraAdd equipment and accessories. Digital cameras don't rely on film but instead save the photographs you take on memory cards. Memory cards can seem a bit expensive at first, but when you compare them to the cost of buying and developing hundreds of rolls of film, the savings quickly add up! Sandisk and Lexar are two of the most popular brands of memory cards, and you'll want to buy at least a couple of extras to have on hand. There's nothing worse than running out of memory in the middle of a special moment!

      Your new camera is an expensive, relatively delicate piece of equipment, so you'll also want to make sure you have a protective case to carry it around in. There are cases to be had that fit a wide range of styles, options, price ranges, and camera types. Most also have storage space for things like extra batteries and memory cards. Lowepro and Case Logic make excellent camera cases. Looking for something more unique? Check out Etsy for handmade camera bags!

      Take lots of pictures. Since you're not worrying about the cost of developing film, digital cameras allow you to take as many pictures as you can fit on your memory card, which could be hundreds! There's really no reason not to take lots of pictures.

      So get out there and experiment. Try out the different settings on your camera. Take some pictures with the flash on, and take some with it off. This will help you get a feel for the limitations and options your camera has. Keep an eye out for professional photographers you really like, and pay attention to what it is that you like about their work. Try to emulate their style — imitation is one of the best ways to learn!

      Get your pics off the camera. Once you've taken some pictures, you'll probably want to do something with them. There are a lot of options!

      • Transfer photos to your computer. Your camera probably came with a cable that will connect it to your computer. This will let you transfer the photos from the camera to your computer, where you can save them onto your hard drive, burn them onto a CD or DVD, or send them to friends and family. Here's a great tutorial for how to get your photos from the camera to the computer. Generally, you don't have to do much with your photos, but if you want to branch out into digital photo editing, Gimp is a great program that's free to download. While you're at it, don't forget to create some sort of file naming scheme to organize your photographs. Months from now, when you're searching for that one picture you took of Great Aunt Sally, you'll be glad you did!
      • Check out online sharing options. A huge number of websites let you upload, store, and share photos online.Picasa, from Google, is my personal favorite. It easily syncs with your Gmail contacts, and the free software makes it simple to upload your photos from your computer to the web. Flickr is another immensely popular service that we've reviewed here at Tecca. Most online photo sharing sites are free, but some do have storage or other costs associated with them. Make sure you read the fine print!
      • Print directly from your camera or memory card. Some printers allow you to print either directly from your camera using a cable or from the memory card itself. Printers such as the Canon Selphy CP800 Compact Photo Printer let you insert your memory card into the printer itself and choose, resize, and print photos directly. Don't have a printer at home? You can also take your memory card in to a photo printing kiosk at many department stores and camera shops.
      • Consider other physical printing options. Most online photo sharing sites also have printing services. Not only can you print out standard-sized photos, but you can also print your pictures onto a wide variety of objects, including tote bags, mugs, mouse pads, and calendars. Here's an article explaining just some of the things you can do with your masterpieces!

      Getting started with your Android phoneAccount setup
      Once your phone's all charged up and you've turned it on for the first time, Android phones offer an easy-to-use series of steps to set up your phone. You'll need a Gmail account to start (which will allow you to buy apps in the Android Market), but you can add any other email accounts you use, too. The setup process will also ask for any Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts available; don't worry, you can skip optional steps if they don't apply to you. Once you're done with the setup steps, you'll be taken to your default home screen. 

      Picking a wallpaper
      One of my favorite things about Android is its customization options; that being said, if you're not feeling the default wallpaper, let's pick a new one. Press and hold your finger on your screen (that's called a "long-press"). You'll get a popup menu with options on it; choose Wallpapers. Now you can pick from different galleries of wallpapers your phone has by default. Choose your favorite and it will be placed on your home screen for you to enjoy.

      If you'd like more information on changing your home screen, clickhere for a great article about customizing your Android phone.

      Getting started with your Android phoneConnecting to your PC
      Now that your phone is starting to look the way you'd like, you'll probably want to add some items like music and pictures to your library. You've got a couple of options at this point. If you're an iTunes fanatic and like the idea of syncing to your phone through desktop software,doubleTwist is currently the iTunes of the Android universe.

      On the other hand, you can just as easily drag and drop files right into your phone, just as you would a simple USB flash drive. When you plug your phone into your PC (and you're not using syncing software), you will be prompted to choose a connection type. Select Disk Drive or USB Storage when the popup asks what you'd like to do, and your phone will show up on your computer just like any other folder.

      App purchases
      There are over 200,000 apps in the Android Market; fortunately, there's been a major upgrade to the Android Market, making it easier than ever to buy apps. The Android Market icon is a little shopping bag with an Android icon on it; select it on your touchscreen and you'll be taken to the Market, where you'll be prompted to enter your Google account and payment information. Once in the Market, you'll be able to tap on categories, scroll through lists, and choose an app to see more information.

      If you want to purchase an app (or if it's free), select the price button. After that, the app will show you information about what permissions you're allowing it to use. If you're okay with what information the app will use, press OK (it's where the price used to be); if it's free, the download will start.  If there's a price tag attached to an app, you'll be taken to the Google payment page, where it will give you the breakdown of what you're buying and how much the total is. Once you tap the "Buy now" button, the app will download. 

      Don't forget, you have 24 hours to uninstall and refund an app if you try it and don't like it for any reason. All you have to do is find the app in the Market, and there will be a button where the price used to be that says Refund. Press it and follow the steps to get your refund. 

      Getting started with your Android phoneConnecting with wifi
      You'll likely have your phone service already activated and ready to go on your new device, but you'll also definitely want to set up your wifi connection as well. To do that, press your Menu key. From there, you'll go to Settings > Wireless & networks. Make sure the wifi is enabled (there should be a check in the box), and then tap on "Wi-Fi settings." From there, pick the network you want to connect to (and type in the password if necessary).

      Getting your email
      There are almost always two options for getting email on your Android device: the manufacturer's mail app or Gmail. Each device manufacturer has different looks and features to its mail apps, so feel free to check both to decide which you prefer. It's very much all personal opinion and preference here. 

      These suggestions should definitely get you started with your new Android phone. If you're looking for great apps to download, be sure to check out ourAndroid App of the Weekcolumn for all kinds of Android apps to discover!

      Getting started with your new iPhoneNew Android phone? Use these simple tips to get up and running with your shiny new deviceWhether you got your iPhone as a gift or finally bought one for yourself, the iPhone can be a fantastic and amazing gadget to carry with you. Getting started with your iPhone is easy to do. Most audio interfaces come with decent preamps and converters, This week, I' ll post my feature of my top five picks from NAMM 2011 and I'd love to Mixing Your Music · Learning Pro Tools · Now is the time to give some love to your favorite gadgets and home entertainment gear by iPhone.



      Navigating the iPhone
      The large circular button near the bottom of the iPhone is your Home button. No matter what screen or menu you are using on the iPhone, the Home button will bring you back to the main screen.

      Getting started with your new iPhone

      The button at the top of your iPhone is the On/Off button, which you can tap to put your phone to sleep until you get a call or until you press the Home button. Once that happens, the iPhone instantly wakes up. To power down your phone altogether, press the On/Off button and hold it down for several seconds.

      You can page through your apps and options by swiping your finger across the screen. If you press one of the icons on your iPhone, you will activate that option or app.

      Getting started with your new iPhoneMeet your new friend: iTunes
      If your computer doesn't already have iTunes installed, visit Apple's websiteand download the software. iTunes is the chief control mechanism for communication between your computer and your new iPhone. You use iTunes to determine which music, videos, and pictures are loaded onto your iPhone. Even more importantly, iTunes allows you to back up your important data from your iPhone, just in case something horrible happens.

      The first time you plug your iPhone into your computer, iTunes will automatically load and check the software version your phone is using. If a newer version of the iPhone software is available, iTunes will back up your phone, download the update, and install it for you. iTunes will guide you through the setup, letting you do things like name your phone. For example, mine is simply "Michael's iPhone."

      Add stuff to your iPhone
      Once you've got your iPhone set up to work with iTunes, your device's new name will appear as an option on the left sidebar of iTunes. Select your iPhone by clicking on that sidebar item, which will bring you to the main iPhone window on your computer. From here, you'll be able to determine which apps, ringtones, music, movies, and other data get synced to your iPhone. Since the iPhone's storage space isn't nearly as large as your computer's, you'll have to be somewhat selective.

      There are two ways to control what music is loaded to your phone. By clicking Music from the main iPhone menu in iTunes, you'll be able to select options like Playlists and Artists. These options will load all the songs associated with those selections. Second, you can check or uncheck songs under your main iTunes music library.

      Syncing other media like movies and TV shows works very similarly. iTunes is a fairly intuitive program, so you shouldn't have much trouble loading media on your phone.

      Apps are it
      The really cool thing about an iPhone is its ability to run small programs called apps. You can purchase these apps through the App Store either in iTunes or on the iPhone itself. In both places, you can check out the description of the app, the price of the app, and read reviews before you buy it.

      Apps are grouped in the App Store according to general categories like Games or Productivity. Don't worry about buying an app by accident; both your phone and iTunes will prompt you for a password before you actually spend any money on an app, making sure you know you're about to make a purchase.

      Getting started with your new iPhoneGet to the internet
      You can use your iPhone to connect to the internet through its cell phone carrier. However, if you want faster speed and would like to save money on your data plan, you can connect to the internet through the wireless network in your home. The first time your iPhone detects a wireless network, you'll get a pop-up menu guiding you through how to set it up on your iPhone.  If you later decide you'd like to remove a network from your iPhone's history, you can access that option through the Settings menu. 

      You will still be able to place calls normally through your 3G connection even while using the internet this way.

      Set up your email
      The iPhone has an incredibly useful email app already built into it. To set up email on your iPhone, select Settings on your home screen. If you've already added other apps to your iPhone, you may need to scroll around a tad to find it. In the Settings menu, you'll see an option called "Mail, Contacts, Calendars." Choose that option and then select Add Account. Choose what kind of email account you're adding and then enter the username and password for your email account.

      Now, when you select the Mail icon at the bottom of your iPhone, you can easily reach your email.

      The iPhone is easy to set up and get using. These simple things will make your experience faster right from the start. Enjoy your new phone!

      Getting started with iTunes Ping

      Getting started with emailHow to get up to speed with Apple's new music social network Just a few short weeks ago, Apple unveiled Ping, a new social network with a musical twist. Ping allows users to connect with their favorite artists as well as their friends using a simple interface that is built right in to the all-new iTunes 10. The service is based on an ever-growing number of users who share short updates about what they're doing or funny quips on their Ping home pages, similar to updates on other popular social media sites like Facebook.

      If you're following friends on Ping, you can read comments regarding their daily livGetting started with iTunes Pinges, while if you follow musicians, you'll likely get updates about new music or releases they're currently working on. In addition, Ping is able to see the music you're listening to and share that with anyone who follows you or checks out your profile, as well. This allows you (and the rest of Ping users) to track each other based on musical interest, a feature that few social networks have gotten right.

      Getting started with iTunes PingWhen you first update to iTunes 10, Ping will be located under the Store menu on the right side of the window. Clicking it for the first time will prompt you to create your profile and info page. You can enter as much or as little information here as you want, and once you're done, you'll be able to enter the world of Ping.

      From the main Ping page, you can search for artists, other Ping users, or simply check out whatever or whoever is currently being promoted on the Featured tab. Artists appearing in this section typically have either just released a new album or made some other large announcement that warrants attention. Once you've gathered a sizable crew of both artists and friends to follow, you can check back whenever you want to see what your favorite people are up to. 

      As with any social network still in its infancy, Ping has started off with a whisper rather than a roar. Adding to the challenges it faces is the fact that the web is filled with more ways to interact with other people than ever before. Because of this, Ping seems to be facing a bit of an uphill battle. However, that is bound to change as more and more users realize that it is a great way to keep in touch with their favorite artists and other music fans around the world.

      Getting started with email

      Getting started with emailHow to create an email account and start sending messages to your friends and family. Email is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways for people to communicate with one another. An email message can be something as simple as "Hello," can detail plans for an upcoming event, or can even contain pictures of a recent vacation that you would like to share with the recipient. Unlike traditional mail, for which you have to wait several days for someone to receive it, email is for the most part instant, so you can press Send on a message and have it instantly read by someone across the street or across the world. If you've never had an email address before, setting one up is easy to do.

      Getting started with email

      Setup
      Visit the site where you would like to set up your email account. Popular places to set up free email include Gmail,Yahoo, and Hotmail. For the purpose of this post, I'm going to explain how to set up an account on Gmail, but the same general rules apply to any site you decide you want to set up an account on. Once you get to the homepage of your choice, find the link on the page marked "Create a new account." This will almost always be located right beside where someone who is already a user would type in their username and password. For Gmail, it is a huge gray button located below the login window. This will launch a page with space for you to fill in information such as your name and birthday, as well as select the username and password for your account. 

      Username
      Your username is what your email address is going to be, so you want to pick something that will be easy to tell friends and family and simple for them to remember. For instance, if your name is Walter Morris, then you might try picking WalterMorris as your username. Assuming the name was available, that would make your email address WalterMorris at gmail.com. Most email sites have been around for a while, so chances are someone has already taken the username that you're interested in. Experiment by adding numbers or additional words until you find one available. For instance, if Walter were a fisherman, he might consider WalterMorrisFisherman as his username. Get creative. In the case of Gmail, there is a Check Availability button below where you select a username. Clicking the button will let you know if your desired name is available, and if not, offer suggestions for similar names. 

      Password
      For your password, you want to select something that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. A combo of numbers and letters in a password is also typically much safer than using just words. Walter the Fisherman may try a combo of the name of his favorite boat in conjunction with his house number: Delila2370. Check our tips for making strong passwords if you're having trouble.

      Once you're done answering all the sign-up questions and reading the terms and conditions for the site you are using, press the button at the bottom of the screen to create your account. In the case of Gmail, this says: "I accept. Create my Account." This should take you to your new email account, ready to use.

      Inbox
      Every new email account typically comes with at least one new email from your email provider welcoming you to the site and giving you a few pointers on how to get started using their service. The first time you open your email, you'll probably see that you have one of these messages. Click on that email in order to open the message and read it. Any new messages you receive from friends will also be in the same place you saw that first message and will be opened the same way. Once you're done reading, go back to your inbox by clicking the word Inbox on the side of the screen. If it's a message you never want to read again, you can click the Delete button on the bottom of the screen to remove it from your mailbox.

      Getting started with emailSending messages
      Now that you have a shiny new email address, it's time to start sending messages to your friends. In Gmail, you can create a new message by clicking the gray button on the left side of the screen marked "Compose mail." This will launch a page with several boxes to fill in where you can start writing your message. So what are you supposed to put in all these boxes?

      To
      The To field is where you will type the email address of the person you would like to send a message to.

      CC/BCC
      CC stands for Carbon Copy, and BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. CC is where you would type the email address of someone you wanted to send a copy of the message to, and BCC is where you would type the email address of someone you would like to send a copy of the message to, but without anyone else who was receiving the email knowing.

      Subject
      The subject of your email is a sentence about what your message is all about. For instance, if Walter was emailing pictures of the fish he caught on his last fishing trip to a friend, he might type "Pictures from the fishing trip last week" in the subject line.

      Getting started with emailAttach File
      The link below the subject line is what you will click if you want to send a picture or other file off your computer along with the email. To attach a file to your email, click the link and then select the file you would like to attach from the window that appears. You select a file by clicking it once, and then clicking the Open button on the bottom of that pop-up window.

      Message
      The large window below the subject line is where you would type the message you would like to send.

      Send
      At the bottom of the message window is a button labeled Send. When you've finished writing your message, pressing this button will send it to your recipient(s). In Gmail, the send button is also at the top of the screen.

      You're now ready to start passing out your email address to friends and family and to start sending and receiving messages. Just like you do with your home address, don't give your email address out to people or businesses who you don't want to send you messages. Be super cautious about emails you do receive, and in general, never send money or give out passwords to people who contact you via email, even if they claim to be from your bank or a businesses that you use frequently — more than likely, they're not.
