Tips when buying a camera for
traveling
The internal battery is one of the important factors when buying a digital camera, as it may run out quickly in modern cameras, due to the cameras’ ability to connect to the Internet, preview the image on screens that are not small, and connect to satellites to record geolocation information inside the captured images, especially when recording Video presentations with sound and image, and in high definition. If you are looking to buy small cameras, they will mostly contain non-standard batteries and you cannot easily buy extra batteries for them while traveling. In this case, it is advised to purchase additional batteries from the place where the camera is purchased in your city before traveling, and to carry special adapters plugged into electrical sockets, and even tools to change the voltage difference between 110 and 220 volts, according to the electricity of the country you are traveling to and the electricity of your city, in order to ensure your ability to connect a charger Battery electrolyte effortlessly. In general, it is recommended to buy cameras that run on standard AA or AAA batteries that are available in most stores and pharmacies. You can take a pack of them from any city, and put them inside the camera if the battery runs out while taking pictures in a nice place.
Different lenses or use the same camera for different lenses
can be connected to digital cameras to get different results. If you want to get the best shots, some factors must be taken into consideration when purchasing additional lenses or a camera, such as: What do you want to shoot? If you want to photograph ancient or beautiful buildings, it is recommended to use a 28 mm lens, while a 100 mm lens is recommended if you want to photograph landscapes. If you are targeting racing or animals from afar, a 200mm lens is recommended.
Memory
As for memory, if you want to take a lot of pictures, make sure that the camera supports external memory cards, especially the ones that work with “SDHC” technology, which supports sizes up to 32 GB per card. It is recommended to carry two or more cards while traveling, to ensure that the highest possible image resolution is recorded without running out of storage space. Each card weighs only a few grams, so it is very easy to carry. It is recommended to purchase one card with a large storage capacity instead of more than one small or medium-sized card, because the total cost will be lower in the case of one large card. Digital cameras are often not equipped with free cards, and it is recommended to ask the seller about additional cards before buying.
If you are going to send pictures to friends and relatives while traveling, especially if you will use Internet cafe computers, you must connect the camera to the computer, and the device must recognize it before you can send pictures. It is advised to make sure that the cameras do not require special drivers when connected to the operating system, and that they will work on any device without the need to use CDs that contain drivers, or download them from the Internet.
If you want to carry a large camera that does not fit in your pocket, it is recommended to buy “Single Lens Reflex SLR” digital cameras, which have larger internal sensors that capture images with better clarity, compared to small cameras. These cameras can capture high quality low-light photos without the use of flash, which makes them suitable for recording memories in romantic restaurants, museums that do not allow the use of flash, or any place that is dimly lit.
* Tips while traveling with camera
* As for travel arrangements, most airports do not prevent you from carrying your camera with you on the plane, but the airport security men have the right to request that the camera be placed in the travel bag, especially if the camera is large and contains many glass lenses that can be broken and used as a sharp tool. If you are asked to do so, the camera or the lenses inside the bag may break while placing it in the luggage storage area on the plane. It is advised to purchase a special hard bag to protect the camera instead of cloth or leather bags that will not protect it from shocks. There is no harm in passing digital cameras into X-ray baggage scanners, but metal detectors that emit a magnetic field may disrupt memory cards and flash memory units, and it is advised to request a manual examination of the camera by airport security instead of passing a device Detect metals nearby.
If the price of your camera is high, it is recommended to purchase travel insurance that includes compensation in the event of its theft or breakdown (either at airports or during use in travel). Even if the camera escapes the luggage storage area, it can still get stuck in rain, snow and dust if not properly protected. The camera should not be carried in the pocket or on the neck, as the process of stealing it becomes easier, and it is recommended to purchase a protective bag placed around the user's waist that uses materials that are difficult to cut when pulled hard.
It is recommended to write the serial number and the cost of the camera and its accessories on a special sheet of paper, in order to submit it to the police station in the event of theft, as this will save you a lot of time when asking insurance companies for agreed compensation. It is also recommended that you write the information of your laptop, mobile phone, and any other electronic device in this list.
It is also recommended to save images from the camera to an external storage unit, such as hard disks that work with “flash” technology instead of traditional hard disks, because “flash” disks are more resistant to shocks and liquids. It is recommended to copy the photos daily to the hard disk, in order to protect the memories in case the camera is stolen, or liquids fall on it, which may mean that the memory card is erased or permanently malfunctions. It is also recommended to save additional copies of the images on another device, in case the hard disk fails, because the failure of the two devices at the same time is a very small possibility. Images can be copied to many modern devices that you carry around on a regular basis, such as music players (such as “iPod” and various mobile phones. We recommend downloading the instructions and instructions manual from the camera manufacturer’s website and saving it on your laptop and reading from it, rather than carrying a heavy printed booklet .
