How to use a camera:

·        First of all, be sure to hold the camera properly and keep your fingers out of the way of the lens and the flash.

·        It is very important to learn the basic functions such as switching the camera on and off. Switch the camera off when not in use so that the battery will not run out so soon.

·        Use the display in the LCD to compose your photos because viewfinders are more difficult to use.

·        Focus on the object to make it sharp.

·        Zoom in on the object if it is too far away. Alternatively, you may want to explore the macro mode when taking close-up shots.

·        Utilise a tripod to stabilise the camera, especially under low light conditions when you need to slow down the exposure to allow more light to enter the camera.

·        Click on the shutter button when you are taking the shot. For some cameras, you have to press the shutter and hold it for a second or two to take the shot.

·        Review and delete photos that are not well taken so that storage space will not be wasted.

·        Transfer the images to a computer.

·        Create a folder to store the photos that you want on the computer.

·        Remember to delete the photos from the memory card after transferring them onto the computer. This will ensure more storage space for the next photo-taking session.
