Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Digital Camera
  1. Step 1

    If your camera has an on/off switch, switch it to on. The lens may move outward to a focused position.

  2. Step 2

    If you have a LCD screen on the back, you will immediately see an image of what is in front of the camera.

  3. Step 3

    Hold the camera about 10 inches from your face, and find what you wanted to take a picture of.

  4. Step 4

    Press and hold down the shutter button, don't let it go like you would a regular film camera, but hold it until the flash goes off. Once you have the photo you can save it on the camera's memory or download it to your computer.
