Capture the moment
With so many great destinations to choose from, wherever you end up going it’s a good idea to do a little research into must-have shots to take while you’re there. For example, the Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona, Spain makes a stunning architectural photo – try a wide-angle lens, or get down low and shoot up for a bold perspective.
Get up close
4
Don’t forget to take a closer look when taking snaps on holiday, whether it’s the frost on your ice cream or the beautiful details in a seashell. Use a macro lens, or the macro mode on your compact camera, to hone in on your subject and pick out patterns and shapes close up. These types of pictures look great in an album alongside portraits and full shots to give added interest.
3
Smart selfies
When taking a photo of yourself with a fabulous backdrop, it’s not advised to lend your camera to a stranger to take the shot for you. Keep safe and make the most of shooting a selfie! If you’ve got a camera with a flip screen like the Olympus E-PL5, you can even turn the screen all the way around to face you. Plus, check if your camera has built-in Wi-Fi with the ability to shoot using your phone as a remote device, for easy shots of yourself. If not, simply extend your arm as far as you can holding the camera to face you, and look for your reflection in the lens before shooting.
5
Super sunsets
Sunsets are beautiful subjects to capture, and if you’re on holiday surrounded by palm trees, you can expect some great silhouettes too. Your compact should have a sunset mode, which will heighten the contrast and saturation of colours, controlling the white-balance and exposure to give you a vibrant shot. If you’re using manual settings however on your interchangeable lens camera, make sure you set up on a tripod to avoid camera shake. Select aperture-priority and go for around f/11, then choose shade or daylight for your white-balance and off you go. Play with exposure compensation until you’re happy with the shot. As the light decreases, you should open your aperture further (decrease the f/stop number).

The UK is a great place to be when it’s warm and the summer is a great time to explore new angles. Get down low and discover the world around you. Using an interchangeable lens camera like the Panasonic GX7 with its 90° tiltable Live View Finder makes this even easier.

Capture the city
Wherever you’re based, there should be a city within easy reach, so take to the streets camera in hand and get snapping! Street photography is great to try in the summer, as the longer evenings mean more light, and generally more people! If your camera has a flip screen, shoot from your hip for a subtle approach to this genre. Or if you’re taking pictures of architecture, try panorama mode or using a wide-angle lens on your camera to create bold distortion to your proportions.

Good enough to eat
If you’re out enjoying high tea, or even having your breakfast at home, why not try your hand at food photography? A popular style, particularly with bloggers, is to shoot from a bird’s-eye view. If you have a flip screen, use this to angle the camera without having to crane your neck as you shoot handheld. Consider your background and props if at home: a wooden surface looks lovely for a vintage look, and you can add flowers or pretty cutlery for a polished look. Shoot with a wide aperture to keep your pictures bright and backgrounds blurred.
Park life
We’re lucky to be surrounded by green fields in the UK, so why not venture into the countryside, or even your local park, to soak up the rays and get closer to nature? Vibrant green and delicate blades of grass make an excellent backdrop for sunny portraits, and if your subject is close to the ground, try shooting slightly through the grass, using a wide open aperture like f/1.8 for maximum depth-of-field (blurring the background) or use your compact’s portrait or diorama mode for a similar effect. See how the grass gives your image a soft filtered look as the aperture blurs the colour.
5
Anyone for tennis?
Were you inspired by the action at Wimbledon earlier this summer? This ball sport is a great way to get some action shots and try out a bit of high-speed photography. Choose sport mode on your compact, or if you’re using an interchangeable lens camera select shutter-priority mode. Choose a shutter speed of at least 1/800sec to freeze the action, and slow this down if you need to. Use a higher ISO to compensate for the shutter speed. Prefocus on the player and lock on – anticipate the action and shoot when the player begins to swing to get the shot timed.

Compact & bridge cameras intro
COMPACT & BRIDGE CAMERAS NEED A CAMERA THAT’S SIMPLE TO OPERATE, PORTABLE AND PRODUCES PREMIUM-QUALITY PHOTOS? THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. A COMPACT OR BRIDGE CAMERA WILL SUIT YOUR CREATIVE NEEDS PERFECTLY PIXEL-PERFECT PHOTOS
NEW
Most fixed-lens cameras feature high-end sensors, some are even equivalent to those in compact system cameras. The model’s number of megapixels will give a good indicator of quality.
ONE LENS A fixed lens camera means you are always photo ready. Check your model’s lens before buying; a longer zoom is great for distant details whilst a wide-angle lens will include more of the scene.

WHY DO I NEED A COMPACT OR BRIDGE CAMERA?
EASY TO USE
If you want a camera that’s ready to go at a moment’s notice, a compact is for you. All models feature an automatic setting so you can just point and shoot hassle-free. Look for extra features, such as filter effects, for more in camera creativity.
22
ALL IN ONE
Pocket-sized compacts fit great technology into a portable body, so there’s no need for accessories, making them ideal to take on holiday. They’re budget friendly, too. Functions such as vibration reduction will help you get sharper shots.

HUGE SUPERZOOM Many bridge cameras feature an impressive zoom lens – up to 50x can be expected – giving the benefit of shooting faraway details, but without the added weight of a digital SLR, or the fuss of packing multiple lenses.
Having a viewfinder on your camera allows you to easily frame your subject, with no glare from the sun. Most bridge cameras have this inbuilt function seen in digital SLRs and even some compacts have them too.
See jessops.com for more information.

SUPER CLEAN
With a fixed lens camera like a compact or bridge, you’ll never have to worry about dust on your sensor, so you can shoot clear, bright images stress-free. It’s worth investing in a decent bag and lens cloth to keep your camera clean & safe.
GET IN CLOSE
If you’re a fan of action, you’ll need a camera with a powerful zoom function. A bridge camera will serve you well for fussfree shooting at incredible focal lengths. For even steadier shots when shooting from far away, consider using a tripod.
TAKE CONTROL
A bridge camera is the perfect step up for budding photographers looking to make the move from compacts – with many manual overrides available, you’ll have lots of control. Speak to an expert at Jessops to see what a bridge camera can offer you.

INTERCHANGEABLE LENS CAMERAS LOOKING TO TAKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE NEXT LEVEL? AN INTERCHANGEABLE LENS CAMERA OFFERS THE IMAGE QUALITY, RANGE OF FUNCTIONS AND VERSATILITY THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE PROFESSIONAL STANDARD PHOTOS IN A WHOLE HOST OF SITUATIONS. WHICH ONE WILL YOU PICK?
MINIMALIST AND LIGHTWEIGHT
CHANGE YOUR VIEW
Designed without an optical viewfinder, mirrorless cameras instead optimise on size and portability, whilst still offering high-end technology capable of producing exceptional stills and video footage.
Lots of interchangeable lens cameras feature rotating touchscreens, like the GX7’s 90° tiltable LCD screen, which makes it ideal for street photography – allowing you to shoot candid pictures discreetly from the hip.

ONLY AVAILABLE AT JESSOPS
WHY DO I NEED AN INTERCHANGEABLE LENS CAMERA?
TRAVEL LIGHT
Lightweight cameras like the Panasonic GX7 are great for those wanting to snap on their travels; it’s compact in size but still offers pro-quality photos and videos. Built-in optical image stabilisation is great when there’s no room for a tripod.

An optical viewfinder is incorporated into most models, giving an accurate shooting view to make sure you can take perfectly exposed pictures wherever you go. If a viewfinder isn’t included, check the hotshoe for compatible attachments.

TOP PERFORMANCE
CUTTING-EDGE FUNCTIONALITY
The high-performance sensors that are incorporated into and specially developed for interchangeable lens cameras offer exceptional quality and true-to-life colour rendition. A high-power image processor makes for reactive and fast operation and quickfire shooting capabilities.
Many models offer Wi-Fi connectivity for easy image transfers to your smartphone or tablet and some models even enable you to use your device as a remote shutter release. GPS-enabled cameras tag your images with location data so you can easily keep track of your travels.

PRO QUALITY
Featuring bigger sensors and more powerful image processors, interchangeable lens cameras are capable of recording in fine detail and at fast speeds. Cameras like the Canon EOS 1200D are great for capturing high-speed action like sports or wildlife, thanks to their high responsiveness and impressive continuous shooting capabilities. Keep your kit safe by investing in a robust bag that will comfortably fit your camera, as well as any lenses.
GO LARGE!
If high-quality prints are what you’re after then an interchangeable lens camera will be the right choice for you. Depending on how large you want your prints, you’ll need to check the camera’s sensor to make sure you’ll be getting detailed enough images. A top-end full-frame sensor is the best on the market and offers limitless printing possibilities, but an APS-C sensor should capture the scene in fine enough detail for impressive print sizes. To get the sought-after, out-of-focus background that you see in professional prints, a prime lens is best suited for the job.

Now Panasonic has brought out not one, but two cameras that have done just that: the Lumix FZ1000 and the Lumix GH4. The feature that’s got everyone talking is 4K technology. Both the FZ1000 and the GH4 can record video footage that is four times the resolution of Full HD, making for incredibly detailed films rendered in amazing true-to-life colour. Panasonic is one of the companies pioneering the
use of this professional-grade technology in its cameras. In fact, the FZ1000 is even the first compact camera of its kind in the world to feature 4K technology. This is great news in particular for those who love an outdoor adventure as there’s no need to pack additional lenses or accessories with the FZ1000 – it has everything you could possibly need in one compact body. With a powerful 20.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor and a stunning fixed f/2.8-4.0 25-400mm Leica lens, it’s easy to capture both stills and video footage that’ll last a lifetime.
Recording in 4K creates footage that is comparable in quality to some professional broadcasts, and it’s all in the lightweight, small body of the FZ1000. Its impressive zoom lens means you can shoot and record wildlife from a discreet distance whilst not compromising on quality too. Wanting to get more creative with your kit? The GH4 is the one for you. It’s durable, lightweight and compact so easily fits into a backpack. It’s dust proof, splash proof and weatherproof too, making it the perfect companion for shooting in the great outdoors. Designed with
professionals in mind, the GH4 not only features the addition of 4K video recording, but also offers more options in printing still images from your footage. Filming in 4K means you can easily grab sharp, detailed prints of single frames up to the size of A3 that are hard to capture with traditional photography. Whether the all-in-one, FZ1000 suits your needs or the versatile, GH4 is more your style – you’ll be guaranteed still and video quality that is out of this world wherever your adventures take you.

CAMERA ROLLING With interchangeable lens and compact cameras offering quality video capture, more and more photographers are making the move into movies. If you’re thinking of using a stills camera for videography, check out our top tips for motion picture perfection
1
Go manual
You can easily access the movie mode in most compact cameras by simply pressing the round button with a red dot in the middle to start recording. For interchangeable lens cameras you may find a movie camera symbol on a mode dial or via the menu function. If you are using a lens with autofocus (AF), it’s often worth disabling this and switching to manual focus as the lens may hunt while you are recording, momentarily throwing everything out of focus. What’s more, the noise of the AF mechanism may also be picked up by the camera’s microphone, potentially ruining the shot.

Shoot movies
2
Steady as you go
Unless you have phenomenally steady hands, camera shake will probably be the first problem you encounter when switching to movie mode on your camera, so a tripod or monopod is an essential investment for professional looking videos. Consider opting for a tripod with a smooth pan/tilt head to add variety and stabilised movement to your shots.
3
4
Get established
Foresight is crucial when shooting video. Try to think about how all of the different shots will edit together when you upload them to your computer. If you’re planning on shooting something creative rather than just documenting your experiences, try sketching out a storyboard to help you visualise the final film. If you’d like to add credits or a menu at the start of your film, think about shooting some establishing shots of the location to really set the scene.
Sound advice
One of the main learning curves for photographers moving into video is dealing with the minefield that is audio. Sound may or may not be a consideration depending on what you are recording. If you’d like to capture some family videos on holiday, a camera with in-built audio should be perfect for your needs. If you plan on filming a friend’s wedding then take a look at the range of hotshoe microphones and external audio recorders available to take your audio up a notch and ensure you catch every quivering syllable during the speeches.
5
Need for speed
If you don’t already have one, a high-speed memory card is an important addition to your kitbag if you plan on using your camera to shoot video. Cards with slow read/write speeds can cause the camera’s buffer to fill whilst transferring data to the card, resulting in unwelcome gaps in your footage. Card capacity is also an important factor when you consider that a 2GB card will only hold ten minutes of Full HD footage. When it comes to memory cards for video, size really does matter. We stock some of the fastest cards available – go to page 88 to see our range.

FESTIVAL FOCUS
Featured product: NIKON 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II £229 5271936 See jessops.com for more info.
There’s only one lens you’ll need to pack if you’re heading to a festival this summer: Nikon’s compact AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens, which can capture it all in stunning quality Festival season is finally upon us. There’s so much variety out there, from literary to rock, familyfriendly to dance, so whatever your taste there’s almost certainly been a festival established to suit. What’s more, they’re a photographer’s dream with plenty going on and photo opportunities galore. But even if you want to just capture the festival shenanigans for the memories, you’ll want to take along a lens that’s up to the job. That’s where the Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens really comes into its own. You don’t want heavy, bulky gear and accessories getting in the way of your festival fun and it won’t have to with Nikon’s first retractable lens for Nikon SLR cameras (F mount). The new 18-55mm lens keeps a slim profile when packed away but still offers a great focal range for versatile shooting. In addition, it features an improved mechanical design which makes it nice and lightweight so you won’t be weighed down. The heady combination of unmissable music, high spirited crowds and sometimes even a
little fancy dress makes for plenty of inspiring photo opportunities. Will you be shooting the whole scene or getting up close to the action? However you capture the festival, the Nikon 18-55mm lens can take stunning wide-angle shots as well as distant details or even up-close macro photos for larger-than-life images. If you decide to forgo the tripod and shoot handheld, you don’t have to worry about your photos turning out blurred. This stunning lens incorporates Vibration Reduction (VR) technology which works to counteract the shakes that are inevitable when you’re shooting at a busy festival in amongst the action – great for when you’re shooting your favourite band over a heaving crowd. Impressively, the 18-55mm lens’s VR is equivalent to a shutter speed four stops faster. You don’t need to lug a bag full of lenses and accessories round this summer. The new 18-55mm zoom lens will cover it all in superb detail and it won’t weigh you down either – leaving you free to enjoy the festivities, be they music, food or art.

LENSES
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR INTERCHANGEABLE LENS CAMERA BY FINDING THE BEST LENS TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS. WHETHER YOU’RE INTERESTED IN TAKING CANDID PORTRAITS, CAPTURING FAR-OFF SUBJECTS OR FASTMOVING ACTION, THERE’S A LENS THAT’S PERFECT FOR YOU OUR GUIDE TO FOCAL LENGTHS When choosing a lens, make sure you’re picking one that’ll help you reach the subjects you’d like to photograph. A wide-angle shorter length lens that starts at 18mm will be perfect for sweeping landscapes or group shots of people, while a longer reach of 270mm or more will get you right up close to the details. Picking a prime lens arms you with a single focal length without the reach of a zoom, but often provides you with a wider aperture – ideal for diffused background effects or low-light photography.

IN FOCUS Most lenses offer both a manual and an autofocus mode. Manual focusing is ideal for presetting a focal point to capture fast-moving subjects – just flick the switch on the lens body to select it.
KEEP IT STEADY The majority of lenses have in-built image stabilisation technology – sometimes called VC, IS or VR – which facilitates handheld shooting by counteracting shakes for blurfree, crisp shots.

WHICH LENS DO I NEED?
WIDE-ANGLE
Get everyone in the shot using a wide-angle lens or shoot an expansive view in all its glory – if you need to squeeze a lot into one frame, these lenses are up to the task. Check the lens mount on your device to make sure your lens is the correct fit.
74
MACRO
If you are interested in taking life-size 1:1 shots of small subjects such as bugs and plants, a macro lens is the one to get you right up close to the scene. Look for lenses with multi-layer coatings f or reduced flare and greater contrast.

PRIME
Prime lenses are of a fixed focal length and usually have a wide aperture, which is great for letting in the maximum amount of light, especially in dimly lit environments. Prime lenses are great for achieving a beautifully blurred, bokeh background.

What’s the difference between filter types? We’ve got a wide range of filters to choose from, so come in-store and ask our experts, to ensure you find the filter that’s perfect for what you need UV FILTERS
A UV filter is used to protect the front element of a lens. It’s worth fitting one to every lens in your kitbag to protect against scrapes. Hoya and Cokin UV filters also help reduce haze and improve clarity.
CIRCULAR POLARISER
With a polariser on the front of your lens, simply rotate the ring and you’ll notice a difference in the contrast and punchiness of your pictures. Great for moody skies or highkey portraits.
ND GRAD FILTERS
For shooting sunrises, sunsets or just landscapes where the sky is brighter than the land below, you’ll need an ND (neutral density) grad filter to hand to balance your exposure. They can also be used to blur moving subjects.
COLOURED FILTERS
ZOOM
For adding a warm glow to a scene or cooling off an overly orange vista, a coloured filter will help adjust tones. Great for sunsets or when working in black & white to help boost contrast.
If you want to keep your kit to a minimum, a zoom lens is a great choice, offering flexible shooting with multiple focal lengths in just one lens. For an even greater range of focal lengths, choose a superzoom.

How to use depth-of-field
UNDERSTANDING:
DEPTH-
1
Bold bokeh
2
Lovely landscapes
Bokeh is the way your lens renders blur in your photos. Types can vary depending on the quality of the lens. Using a lens with a wide aperture will render light in the background blur into soft circles. The shallower the depth-offield, the more bokeh. If you have a portrait lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8 you’ll be able to achieve incredible bokeh. Turn to aperturepriority and open up to the widest f/stop, focus on your subject, and the background colours will blend with light, shown as creamy circles.
OF-FIELD
Creating photographs with a professional feel takes a great piece of kit, a little understanding and the right techniques. Read on to master depth-of-field for shots with real impact
Near or far
Depth-of-field is how much of your image appears to be in focus within the frame and is linked directly to the aperture of your lens. The larger your f/stop number (like f/22) the smaller the aperture, which lets in a reduced amount of light, allowing your lens to ‘see’ further and capture a further field of vision. The smaller your f/stop (like f/4) the wider the aperture, and the more light can be let in. This means your subject will have a short focus, blurring the rest of the scene out. Choosing a shallow depth-of-field is great for portraits and still life, whereas a long depth-of-field can deliver stunning landscapes. LARGE APERTURE
f/2.8
MEDIUM APERTURE
f/4
f/5.6
f/8
SMALL APERTURE
f/11
f/16
f/22
When you’re faced with expansive, rolling scenes, it seems a shame not to make the most of the view by capturing it in full focus. To achieve the maximum field of view, you’ll need a minimum aperture like f/22, allowing the maximum details to be captured. Because the sensor won’t be exposed to as much light this way, it’s well worth setting up on a tripod to allow your shutter speed to compensate for your aperture. Using exposure bracketing is a safe way to ensure you get the most detail, without any grain: make sure you take a couple of shots using a couple of different exposure values.

THINK BIG, OR SMALL!
For low-to-the-ground macro shots, look for a smaller tripod, or one that can be adapted to shoot low down. If you’re working in a studio, go for a larger option. Take time with your tripod to achieve crisp shots for still life and macro.

Our guide to memory card speed Speed can be just as important as size when it comes to memory cards. This determines how quickly photos and videos are transferred from the camera to the card, and also from the card to your computer. SANDISK EXTREME PLUS 16GB £44.99 5272004
HIGH POWER Flashguns are great for providing an additional light source but take a lot of energy to recharge. Check your flashgun’s power source, as some like the Cristal 360AFD take AA batteries which is great for on-location shoots, whilst others require their own power packs.

A fast memory card allows you to take high-speed sequences of high-resolution images without the camera slowing down. For video, the faster the card, the higher-quality movies you can capture. So if you plan to shoot sports or action, or Full HD or 4K video, you should consider a high-speed card with one of the ratings below – just look out for the symbols on the front of the card.
CLASS 10
Class 10 (10MB/s minimum) cards exceed the minimum needed for Full HD movies or shooting stills at fast frames-per-second rates.
UHS-CLASS 1
MEMORY POWER
Store your shots securely by choosing the best memory card for the job. Check your card’s read speed before committing – faster speeds are ideal for recording HD movies. Look at the card’s format to ensure it’s compatible with your device.
The first level in the UHS Speed Class (10MB/s minimum), for high-resolution still capture and pro-quality Full HD movies.
UHS-CLASS 3
The highest speed rating for memory cards (30MB/s minimum), for ultimate stills performance – fast enough for 4K video capture.

CAPTURE THE ACTION!
Capture the excitement of summer with the Lowepro and Joby action ranges, which are great for gathering footage, plus transporting and protecting your kit Joby’s Action series provides new ways to quickly and safely secure your action camera to almost anything, anywhere. Get the most exciting footage possible plus easy-to-achieve point of view shots of you in the moment! So what’s your angle? Well with three products to choose from that each come with a GoPro mount, and a universal stainless steel, quarter-inch tripod screw thread – for compatibility with other action cams – you can be sure to find the perfect solution with one of these: ACTION CLAMP & LOCKING ARM One of two innovative sliding clamps, this nifty tool lets you close the gap on surfaces as thin as a stop sign or as thick as 5cm and includes two arm joints that rotate 360° and pivot 180° side-to-side. Simply place your camera at any angle and tighten the fibreglass-reinforced locking arm to give you long-lasting vibration-resistant footage that gets you firmly stuck into the action! Secure the clamp on surfaces such as a kayak, car window or even railings. ACTION CLAMP & GORILLAPOD ARM If you are looking for varying footage and angles, the Action Clamp and GorillaPod Arm is perfect. With its super-quick flexible mounting solution you can quickly adjust the camera position with the five movable ball and sockets to get the angle you want, ideal for creating dynamic shooting views.
GORILLAPOD ACTION TRIPOD If you prefer your action a little more extreme, and are looking to take even more adventurous footage, then the GorillaPod Action Tripod is a must-have for you. Wrap the flexible legs around poles, branches, or fences, or use it to grip on different terrains and surfaces. An integrated ball head with bubble level gives you pinpoint control to capture sharp images and footage, anywhere! DASHPOINT AVC SERIES Transport your kit in safety and style with the Lowepro Dashpoint AVC series for ultimate protection. This carrying and storage solution comes with a high-impact resistant moulded shell and flexible easyto-customise interior that includes a soft inside lid and removable organisation panel, with flexible straps to secure accessories like adaptors, batteries and remotes. You can now feel confident – even in the most extreme environments – that your action video camera and accessories are ready when you are.
