How to Take a Picture with a Digital Camera

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

A simple guide to taking pictures with sometimes complex digital cameras.

Steps

  1. Find the "on" button (usually on top of the camera) and press it. Wait for it to turn on and load.
  2. Adjust settings if necessary (refer to users manual).
  3. Look into LCD screen on back of camera to aim the camera at whatever your target is. Zoom in or out if necessary.
  4. Find the photo button (always on top right of the camera).
  5. Once target is in the screen how you want it, hold the camera still, press and hold in the button until the camera flashes.
  6. View your picture by using the playback button on the back of the camera.
  7. Insert your memory card or attach your USB cord to your computer and upload your pictures onto your computer to print or save.

Tips

  • On most digital cameras, if you press the photo button (the on that takes the pictures) halfway, it will focus the picture so the image will look nicer.
  • If you are taking pictures in a dark environment you can turn on the flash so it is easier to see the picture. Most digital cameras have a mode to do this automatically.
