How to take a picture with a digital camera

Step 1 : Turn on your camera
The power button is normally located at the top of your camera.

Step 2 : Select the mode you wish to use.
Auto is always a good option for an amateur photographer. Try to use appropriate settings though.

Step 3 : Focus on your target.
You can use the screen to focus, or, if available, you may use the viewing window. Whichever tickle's your fancy. Zoom in and out as needed.

Step 4 : Let your camera focus the lens.
Usually this is done by pressing the shoot button HALF WAY, or where there is resistance before an actual photo is taken.

Step 5 : Take the photo.
Once the camera lens is focused, the camera will normally emit an audible beep, and that tells you the camera is focused. Once that happens, you may press the shoot button all the way down until a click.

Step 6 : Review your picture.
The nice thing about digital cameras is that you can review your picture and decide if you like it or not, allowing you to retake pictures, or not needing to retake pictures. If you are satisfied, move onto the next object.

Cheers!
