Nikon那邊回復我說，我的數碼單反相機需要3星期去維修……嗯，我想這也是個好機會去好好探究怎麽利用手上這部數碼相機（IXUS 860），同時把自己的經驗與大家分享一下。
如果你是初心者，希望你能透過下面的內容而有所得著。各位攝影高手也不妨多多指正，分享大家的寶貴經驗

1) Let’s learn from common mistakes…
Mistake 1:
DC’s direct flash is not advised… seeing is believing
1) 從常見問題中學習…
問題一：直接對景物用數碼相機的閃光燈…有圖爲證
Mistake 2:
“Haha, I know to turn my flash off, let’s see...”
And you use full auto mode with hand held… & the below pic is the most typical in toy/model forum…
問題二："好吧，把閃光燈關掉又如何呢？"
然後你用的是全自動模式，又只用雙手去拿相機，結果就出現了在一般模玩論壇帖子裏面最常見的圖像問題，見下圖…
Why!?
The potential problems are:
household lighting is generally not sufficient, hence possible consequences are
a) a fussy pic because of hand shake, or
b) a noisy pic because of high ISO
As I am a hand-shaking guy, 4 years ago tripod is already my most important partner in shooting.
爲什麽會出現問題呢？
潜在的原因，是單靠一般家用的燈光來拍攝通常幷不足够，因此發生了以下問題
a) 因爲手震導致圖片影像過于模糊
b) 因爲調校的感光度過高而導致影像粗糙
因爲自己手震的關係，三脚架在四年之前就已經是我拍攝工作裏最重要的夥伴了。
2) Tools:
To take good pics of you collection in economy way, my advice is:
- A DC (of coz)
- Background paper (very important- within $10)- I use wrap paper this time, it is cheap & no need to handle with care
- Tripod (critical!!!- within $70)
“Ap Liu St” stuff is more than enough for little DC, & it is always the gift comes with purchasing your DC - A mirror (I am using an acrylic mirror for safety reason; or a lamp could be a substitute)
想用最經濟的方法去拍攝美圖，我的建議是：
- 一部數碼相機（那還用說~）
- 背景底紙（非常重要，通常十塊錢以下）- 這次我用了牛皮包書紙，又便宜又不怕弄花弄破
- 三脚架 （最關鍵的工具，一般來說70塊以下）‘鴨寮街’級數的工具對于一部小型數碼相機來說已經很够用
了，而購買數碼相機時，三脚架通常也會隨相機附送的。
- 一面鏡子 （爲了安全起見，我用了膠鏡，也可以找一盞可移動的燈作爲代替品）
3) The simple trick
3.1 Preferred setting of you DC
- Single point focus (critical! & focus on where you want to focus)
- Lowest ISO
- Macro mode
- disable flash
- Appropriate white balance
3.1 如何調校你的數碼相機
-只對焦于一點上（重點！！還有只對焦于你想表現的焦點上）
-把感光度調校至最低
-使用微距
-不要用閃光燈
-適當的白平衡
3.2 The miracle of tripod!
Not just because it is stable for long exposure time; the most important “side effect” is it makes you more conscious in framing before you press the button! No more casual snaps!
See the effect!!!
3.2
神奇的三脚架！
使用三脚架不只是因爲它可以令相機比較穩定和延長固定時間，最重要的是她能令在你按下快門之前更集中于取景！有了它便不會再有隨便的快拍了，看一下效果：
