Experiences in Using                               Sony Digital MVC-CD300                                              Page 2

		So far I have already taken about 1,600 pictures and there are some more tips that I would like to  share my experiences.
	9)	White Balance - One Push Mode.  One of the useful White Balance functions is the One Push Mode. To try this, first select One Push then aim the camera at a white object such as paper and press . The camera will store new White Balance condition in its memory. The two pictures below are scaled down from its original sizes and each one was sharpen once, and without any further modifications. The left picture with the White Balance set at One Push while the right picture with the White Balance set at Outdoor. You can see that the left picture is better even if the right picture would be modified by Photoshop the contrast will be too obvious and not as good as the left one.

	10)	Save Your Pictures on 700 MB CD-R.  At present the standard size CD-R with 700 MB storage capacity is quite cheap. It is 15 - 35 Baht (US. 33 - 78 cents) a piece in Bangkok. To be sure that you do not miss any pictures taken I would recommend the followings : 1. Use Photoshop to open the picture folder from your camera. Review each picture and grouping them into seperate folders in your PC. 2. Format CD-R 700 MB disc. 3. Copy a folder from the PC and paste into the CD-R using a CD-R/CD-RW drive. By doing this you will have a permanent storage of your pictures that can be carried away and used anywhere.
