Tips for Reading Digital Camera Manuals

"I want to take a moment to just strongly encourage you to crack your advanced manual for your point-and-shoot camera. It's actually really simple and easy to read, and you'll learn so much more about what your camera has available to you. I'm going to go over some of the features for the camera that I have and I'm sure that there will be similar features on your camera. But the only way to really know is to just flip open the pages of that advanced manual. And don't be intimidated by how think it is, because it's got pictures and step-by-step instructions. And it will show you how to navigate easily through the different menus on your camera so that you can find the features like the flash, or setting the is, or figuring out if you've got some predestinated programs for portraits or night shots. So, just open up. I mean it's great to just look at your camera and it's wonderful if you can intuitively navigate through it. But, I promise you, you will find all kinds of crazy, incredible, awesome tricks which will just make your picture seem that much more professional."
