Small point-and-shoot digital cameras are all similar and easy to us3, unlike antique cameras
Photography was once an exclusive field, limited to the select few who understood box-like cameras and their accompanying flashes and lenses. As of 2010, however, cameras have evolved to become easy to use and inexpensive, allowing many individuals to own a compact digital point-and-shoot camera. These cameras are all relatively similar and easy to operate when taking pictures and loading them onto a computer.
Instructions
1. Turn on the camera. This is as simple as pushing a button, and most "on/off" switches on cameras are located in the center of the top of the camera.
2. Choose your camera settings. Now that your camera is on, you are ready to take a photo. However, for the best photo results, you will want to choose which photo setting best matches the type of photo you are trying to take. Many cameras will have photo settings such as "Auto", "Portrait", "Landscape", and "Manual." These settings can be found under the "Menu" option or on the surface of the camera, often in the form of a wheel that can be twisted to change the setting. If you you are unsure which setting best fits the photo type, it is always safe to use the "Auto" setting.
3. Adjust your flash. If you are taking a photo at noon, you may want to manually turn on your flash. If your camera is on an automatic setting, it will make this decision for you, but you may not like the outcome of the photo. To turn on or off the flash button, look for the symbol on the camera that looks like a lightning bolt. This signifies the flash and pressing that button will change the flash setting.
4. Point and shoot. A common nickname for small, easily transported digital cameras is the easy "point-and-shoot." The names is derived from the simplicity of using a digital camera like this. Simply point it at the scene that you would like to take a photo and press the "take photo" button. This is usually a larger button than any other button on the surface of the camera and is frequently located on the top right-hand side of the camera.
5. Upload photos to your computer. Because most modern cameras are digital, viewing photos is a much simpler process. Your camera will come with a cord that connects to the USB port on your computer. Once you have connected the camera to the computer, you can use whatever photo software is available on your computer to upload and view your photos.
