Color, pick one. Just one...



Color Accent is a feature found in some Canon Powershot point-and-shoot cameras. Not all Powershots have it. To be sure, ask the seller first before paying.


Extract Color is also a feature of the Pentax K-x dSLR.


Basically, you select what color to preserve. The rest are transformed into B/W. In the K-x, you can do this before or after you take the shot.

Filter size?



Filters usually screw on to the front of the lens. The filter size of your lens will tell what size of filters you need to buy. It's usually written under the front lens cap in mm.


The most common filter in use is the UV filter. You can leave it on the lens to serve as protection. There are other filters that may be useful like the polarizer to cut glare in water and glass. There are neutral density (ND) filters to underexpose the shot further than possible with just aperture alone. Graduated color filters enhance certain colors and parts of the picture. You can combine filters and use one or more of them at the same time.

 
There are also screw-on adapters that mount on existing lenses. The most popular ones are the telephoto adapter, wide angle adapter and the semi-fisheye adapter. It's the same. Treat them as filters. Get the adapter that has the same size as the filter size of your lens.


Most of the effects done with filters in the film era can now be easily duplicated through a capable graphics program in the computer.

Low Power?



If camera seems to be fine but just won't turn on, just a beep or two or even just half-a-shot, the battery may have ran out.


Recharge the battery overnight using the wall charger or replace with a fresh new set of alkalines or lithiums whichever the case may be. Ordinary batteries won't do. 


If the lens is stuck, do not push it in. It will correct itself when power is restored.

Camera video format change?



Most likely impossible. The digital camera can only record in one video format. Whatever format that is, you'll have to deal with it.

You can change it using a video converter through the computer. There are lots of video converters out there. Some are free, some are not. There is no guarantee that if you pay for it, it will work. I've used some free versions before that worked out fine for a limited number of minutes only. Good luck in your search.
