Feature-Focused Photogs

Do any of these sound like you?
  • I consider myself an average photographer
  • Quality and features of a digital camera are just as important to me as price
  • I enjoy manually adjusting the settings on my camera
  • I like to have a camera with the latest features and technology
  • I keep my photos well organized and secure
  • I am satisfied with my options for sharing, printing and organizing my photos
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you may be a Feature-Focused Photog. The key characteristic common among users in this group is their enjoyment of adjusting the settings - such as aperture, focus and gain - using their camera's manual controls.

The Feature-Focused Photogs in this group consider themselves "average" photographers. They view themselves as neither early nor late adopters of technology. Because they want to have the latest features, they tend to own newer, yet moderately priced, point-and-shoot cameras that are less than one-year old.

Feature-Focused Photogs report being highly interested in future digital camera features, such as facial recognition, touchscreen controls and more. They place a lot of emphasis on product features, price and convenience.

Like the Picture Happy Socialites, Feature-Focused Photogsare most likely to take spur of the moment photos. They also tend to keep their photos well organized and secure - a trait shared with Digital Curators.

If you're a Feature-Focused Photog, consider these tips to get the most out of your digital imaging experience:
  • If you really enjoy adjusting the shot yourself, consider upgrading to a digital SLR (DSLR) camera. These powerhouses give you the utmost control and precision over exposure, focus and scene composition. As an added bonus, DSLRs give you the option of switching lenses to achieve the perfect shot
  • Take a photography class through your local specialty camera store to learn how to get the most out of your camera and its settings
  • Experiment with editing some of the photos you've taken to adjust exposure and color saturation after the shot (Remember: always edit a copy of your digital image, not the original)
