Say you have gone trekking in Himalayas and your camera has a memory card with limited memory left in it. Most of us stop shooting images and instead save that for some beautiful and important photos. By doing so you might capture some of the important shots but might miss out on many other important shots. Here are few tips on how you can manage and take more shots with the existing space of your camera memory card without missing any beautiful scenery.
Go to camera settings and change the image format from RAW to JPEG (high). This will save a lot of memory and take lot many images in compressed format without much loss in information. RAW is always better but when you have no other option, go for high quality JPEG images. Each RAW (NEF) format photos will consume almost 30MB space (on my Nikon D600) where as JPEG high quality image will consume 10 to 12 MB.
- If you don't care much about image quality and just want photos to upload it on social media then you can go for JPEG (normal) quality images.
- Use your camera inbuilt software to convert RAW to JPEG format for not so important photos and delete the RAW format photos. I usually use RAW format when I capture landscape, nature photos and when I capture group photos of our trekking group I usually use JPEG- High.

- Delete duplicate images.
- Check your already captured images, delete unwanted blurred images, over or under exposed images etc.
