Shoot Smarter

   It's easy to think that taking control of digital photos begins when
   you import the images into your computer, but the truth is that the
   process starts before you capture your first shot. For example, time
   stamps are the foundation of photo-management software, making it
   essential that your camera records the correct time. It is possible to
   fix errant time stamps later, but doing so throws a roadblock into your
   workflow. (And if enough roadblocks appear, you may decide to turn
   around and abandon the endeavor altogether.)
