Compact Camera News

You don't, necessarily, need a big clunky camera with a big clunky interchangeable lens to shoot great photos. In fact, you really can get fabulous photos from a simple "point-and-shoot" camera with a small imaging sensor about the size of your fingernail. You just might need a few helpful pointers.

In the below video photographer Miguel Quiles teams up with photographer Taylor Jackson to share five ways to get fantastic photos from a pocket-sized point-and-shoot. Here are the five tips the duo share in the below video while shooting with the Sony RX100 V, which has a 1-inch sensor:

#1 Shoot with a lot of light

#2 Shoot in Raw or Raw + JPEG

#3 Don't Use Pop-Up Flash If Possible

#4 Shoot on the Long End of Your Lens

#5 Highlight the "Hero" in Your Shot
