Make your camera battery last even longer!

Last time we discussed how can you save camera battery life. Well, we hope you’ve been trying to and this week we’ll even throw in some extra tips for you. Like what do you do if you’re stuck in the middle of the desert with one battery left, and it’s half empty? I’d say you should look for water and stop wasting your time thinking about photos, but still here are a few things that might work.

Sometimes we tend to forget that every click on any button consumes some amount of energy. One of the power threatening functions is "continues focus." Of course that you should focus but only when you are planning to take a photo and minimize the pressing half down thingy - it awakes every single part of the camera and wastes a lot of battery power.

Using flash is also a major power drainer so try to avoid this as much as possible. Choose higher ISO or use an external flash with its own batteries instead.

But the best tip we can give is carry another battery. That way you won’t have to think about your camera power consumption all day long and just have fun shooting.

But you don't have an extra battery? No more excuses! www.photo4less.com is fully stocked and ready to deliver every camera accessory you're looking for.

How to make your camera battery last longer

There’s nothing more annoying than missing a shot because the camera’s battery just died on you. Digital photography is a blessing indeed, but the short life of a battery can be a pain.

So what can you do? How can you make your camera battery last longer? First of all you can start minimizing the use of features that take up extra energy.

Turn off the LCD screen and use the viewfinder instead. Not only it will make your battery last longer, but it will also make your pictures look better. If you must use the LCD screen, adjust your camera settings to economy mode. The screen will appear darker but the battery will last longer.

Another key factor in battery power consumption is the uncontrollable urge to preview and review pictures. Stop it! You have tons of free space on your 754 gigabyte memory card so keep the photo viewing for home. Look at the pictures on the LCD when you need to work on your composition and not when you want to get another laugh out of your wasted friend photo.

Want to get that perfect photo? Looking for the right light and the right speed? An extra battery? www.photo4less.com is fully stocked and ready to deliver your purchase.

How to Find Discount Camera Accessories

Professional photography never ends in buying a camera. It just starts there.

After you’ve bought a really nice DSLR you start looking for lenses, flashes, tripods, teleconverters, memory cards and software, so your pictures will come out truly amazing.

But hunting for professional camera accessories can get a bit pricey, especially when turning to the specialty shops. True, the experience you can get at a pro-equipment store is amazing. It’s a true photographer’s heaven. Still these stores usually sell their merchandise at very high prices. And we don’t like high prices. Now I’m not saying you should avoid these stores, not at all, you can get valuable information and get your questions answered. But when you get your mind set on a product you like, the best thing to do is to shop for it outside.

Online stores and auction sites are usually the best places to buy professional camera equipment. If you are not looking for the newest or shiniest model (I mean seriously, is there something wrong with older lens model?) you can get yourself quite a deal online. Pro-shops usually keep only the most updated models while shopping online you can practically find anything. And when considering that online retailers have no rent and almost no staff to pay for – you can understand why prices can get dirt cheap.

So when looking for discount cameras and discount camera accessories you know that there is only one place to turn to and that’s www.photo4less.com!
