Often, when copying photographs you will want to turn this off completely in order to reduce reflections from the glossy surface of photographic prints. A color photograph copied under incandescent or fluorescent lighting will give a color cast to your image. A white balance control can help compensate for this. If your camera does not have a white balance, try to use daylight to retain the original color balance. Remember, do not leave old photographs in direct sunlight for more than a brief period of time necessary to snap the picture.
Sunlight can damage photographs and the damage is cumulative.
A Photo Card Reader helps speed up transfer of photos to your computer without taking power from your camera. I use a Camedia Photo Memory Card , your camera may use another format. I always keep two cards so I am always ready to photograph. To stay read for that important photograph, you will need Rechargeable Batteries . Digital cameras use a lot of power.
