Normally good software packages should be included and provide basic features. Important functions are different capturing options like night shots and a setting for backlight. Professionals mostly use manual settings but amateurs can really benefit from these additional features and take great photos.

Glossary

Quick Shot-Funktion

Function of some digital cameras, in which during a short time span and a single trigger push a series of images can be taken.

Motivprograms

Almost all digital cameras come with motivprograms, at which the device resorts to previously stored preferences. Motiv- or other automatic programs can be found in the sections "landscape", "sports", "potraiture" and night.

White balance

The white balance adjusts the camera to light environment. According to the camera the white balance can be adjusted manually with a white sheet of paper or on the basis of pre-defined parameters (such as "daylight", "artificial light", "cloudy" etc.). When in automatic mode, the camera adjusts the white balance automatically and no other interaction is necessary.
