OK button 106 7 Playback One of the big advantages of a digital camera is that as soon as you take a picture, you can see how it looks right away. That means that if the picture is out of focus or just hasn't turned out the way you want, you can erase it and try again. With a film camera, on the other hand, you won't know if there is a problem with the picture until you get the film developed. Because a digital camera lets you erase those unwanted images, you can keep more memory free to store images and take more shots. You can also protect images that you do not want to erase. Another benefit is that you can edit recorded images: change colors to black and white or sepia, trim images, change the resolution, etc. So take advantage of your digital camera's benefits and have fun taking great pictures.
