• Why do my snow photos look grey?Fresh snow comes out dull grey instead of white — and night shots come out milky. Both have the same cause, and the same one-slider fix.
• Why do my indoor photos look orange?Your room looks normal to your eyes but the photo comes out orange. That is white balance — and it is one setting, not a filter.
• How do I blur the background in a photo?Blurry backgrounds are not a filter. Three things control it, and two of them are free on any camera you already own.
• What do P, A, S and M mean on a camera?The four letters on every camera dial are not difficulty levels. They answer one question: which setting do you want to decide?
• Why are my photos blurry when I zoom in?Zoom in and your shots get shaky. It is not your hands getting worse — zoom magnifies your shake along with the subject.
