Catch That Baby If You Can (NAPSA)—If you’re trying to keep up with baby, you know that capturing the moments that matter can be tough. Digital cameras provide parents with a way to save and share baby’s firsts. With the ease and flexibility of digital photography, you may be able to make sure memories neverfade. e Exercise teamwork— Babies are easily distracted, so use that to your advantage. Havea relative or friend keep the baby’s attention with a toy or noise while you capture the moment. Take a Baby’s Eye View— Don’t take photos from way up above. Get down to baby’s level so you can catch shots straight on. Capturing Clutter?—Make baby the focus of your photo by keeping the background simple. Light of Your Life—If your kids are making sand castles at the beach and you’ve got a glare, check your digital camera for optional Scene Modes. Somedigital cameras have pre-programmed settings to capture pictures under specific circumstances such as extremelight and darkness. Sweet and Sour—Always have your digital camera out and ready to go so you don’t miss baby’s first taste of a lemon or a cake. Unexpected facial expressions can makethe best photos. Burpie, Blankie, Battery Pack—Don’t forget to charge your battery and pack an extra. Most digital camera batteries last about 90 minutes so if your little one’s antics last all day long, be ready with backup. Red-Eye Got You Blue?— To show baby’s true colors, use a camera that has a Red-Eye Reduc- tion feature or software with OneTouch Red-Eye Fix™. Supporting Cast—Baby might be the star these days, but don’t forget the rest of the family. Be sure to jump in some shots yourself. As parents, you want to cap- ture and savor every special moment in your youngster’s lives, from the moment your children are born until that fateful day when they become parents themselves—and beyond. But with children always on the go, parents need to simplify the process. Parents looking to makelife a little easier can look to manufacturers such as Nikon, which incorporates tools such as One-Touch Upload™ and automatic Scene Modes. It even has a Web site (www.coolpix101.com/prideandjoy) devoted entirely to baby photography.
