Fact or Myth: JPEG deteriorates over time

JPEG files do not deteriorate over time. This is a myth. If you open and close a JPEG file a million times, this does not degrade the image at all. So do not worry - your precious JPEG files are just fine and not deteriorating quietly in the background. However, every time you edit and save a JPEG, you will lose some image quality, though, and this is irreversible. So take photos in RAW if you can, and save in JPEG, and the problems all go away.

How Can I Learn To Use My New Camera?

The best way to learn to use your camera is to go through the camera manual from start to finish with your camera and try out all the things that you can do with your camera. Buy one book about your camera and learn the things that you want to learn. Go out with your camera and practise the things that you have learned. You should aim to be able to use your camera with your eyes closed – that is when you have learned to use your camera!

Why Is Camera Sensor Size Important?

The size of the camera sensor size defines the type of camera, the most popular ones being full frame, APS-C or micro four-third cameras. The size of the camera sensor is a significant factor in the quality of images captured, with larger camera sensors generally recording more data and providing higher-quality images. The size of the camera sensor is related to the cost of the camera – generally the larger the sensor the more expensive the camera.
