I have about 2.2 GB on my memory card and i'm going on vacation next week and plan to take lots of video. How much time is this? I just have a canon digital camera, nothing too special. a PowerShot ElPH 100 HS. Thanks!


Answer
You are going to have to buy some more memory cards.

A 17 to 20 minute video uses about 4 gb of video if you are shooting Full HD.

Memory is so inexpensive, I am surprised you have not purchased at least four or five extra cards.

I found some class 10, 4 gb cards for, two for under $16

Question?

Are you in the good habit of copying all your images from your memory card to your computer after each shooting day and then formatting the card in your camera? If no, you are running the risk of having the memory card you have, becoming corrupt. Memory cards are NOT a place to permanently store your images.

How can I get my camera to stop taking grainy photos?

It's a Canon Powershot SD750 Digital Elph... I'm not sure what to do, my pictures keep turning out grainy! It's no fun!


Answer
Answer: The reason of the "grainy image" is due to the fact that the ISO (a number which sets how sensitive the digital sensor/film is) is too high.

So in general, setting a high ISO means that there are more chances of those "grains". Setting a lower one will get less. So grain in ISO 200 > ISO 100. I suggest to refer to your manual how to "Change ISO" settings or something alike. Check the index, I am sure you will find you solution there. It is referred in photography term as "Photography Noise".

Extra: You may ask why would they have that for? Well, the reason as explained above, ISO is the sensitivity level of the film (digital film inside camera) which takes the picture. So the effects:

Examples:

High ISO: More sensitive to light -> Reduce exposure -> Sharper Photo (when you take moving objects) ~ but more noise
Low ISO: Less sensitive to light -> More exposure -> Blurry photo (when you are taking moving objects) ~ but less noise

It is kind of a compromisation. Hope this helped.
