The Basic Operation of a Digital Camera

The Materials that you need :

• a digital camera
• an object (a friend/ classmate or something interesting you can find around the classroom or school yard)

Follow the steps below to take pictures:

1. Hold up the camera and centre the object in the LCD
2. Move closer or use the zoom control for the result you want
3. When you're ready to take the picture, hold the shutter halfway. It is very important, so the camera sets the focus, shutter speed, and various other calculations. This may take a few seconds
4. A light should appear that lets you know the camera is set to go.
5. Press shutter all the way down

    It may be necessary to turn off the LCD and use the view finder when there is extreme sunlight or to conserve battery life. The glare from the LCD does not work well with bright light.
