What are the basics I need to know about digital cameras?
I know less than nothing, about digital cameras. Where can I go to learn? or is it easier than I think it is?
I bought 2 cameras, one cheap 2.1 Megapixel DG “for Dummies” (I don’t even see a maker’s name, but it looks easy to operate (maybe).
I also bought a FinePix 4800 Zoom Fuji camera that looks very professional but I doubt I can even make it through the owner’s manual. It’s the kind that sits in a power dock and has tons of settings.
Help! Where do I start?
Ok, so I’ve been reading and studying. I really have a fairly high IQ but I’ve thrown this Owner’s manual across the room several times now.
Wish I could give you all the 10 pts, but I thank you for trying to help me.
I’m close to giving this camera away and
THWit.
You are going to have to READ & STUDY the Owner’s Manual for your Fujifilm FinePix 4800. There really isn’t any other way to learn how to use the camera unless you can take a class in photography. You’ll still need to READ & STUDY the Owner’s Manual though.
If there are terms you don’t understand, go to http:www.dpreview.com and look at the Menu on the left side of their home page. Click on Learn/Glossary and you’ll find as explanation of all the terms associated with digital cameras.
