Flip Video
cameras improve on the size of older models quite a bit but don't sacrifice much in the way of versatility
As digital video cameras get smaller and smaller, thanks to advances in technology, a question has arisen: will these new, impossibly small video cameras still allow me to edit my pictures and videos the way older models did? Luckily, in the case of Flip Video cameras, the answer is a resounding "yes"; the compact but feisty video camera comes prepared to help you make the most of your purchase.
Picture Orientation
The high-quality nature of Flip photos and videos means that you can alter the orientation of the on-screen picture without causing graininess or pixelation. By choosing the flip or rotate tools from your editing software of choice, you can flip your pictures vertically or horizontally and rotate them to the right or left, 90 degrees at a time.
Zoom and Crop
If you want to remove people from a picture, close in on someone's face or just frame the picture a little more artistically, the zoom and crop tools are for you. Videos and pictures can be zoomed in upon quite extensively without getting pixelated, due to the high megapixel count. Crop out unsightly backgrounds or extraneous people with the crop tool.
Red-Eye Reduction
Assuming that the picture you've taken didn't already have automatic red-eye reduction activated, canceling out the fabled reddish optical glare is a simple matter with free editing software like Picasa. Simply choose the red-eye reduction tool from the menu, and your vampiric gaze will be neutralized.
