Have You Read Your Camera Manual?
If you haven't read the manual that came with your digital camera you are not alone. Many people never get past the Basic Operations section. Perhaps the manual was hard to read or used jargon you weren't familiar with? Here are some links to so some digital camera glossaries that will help you understand some of these terms. The next time you try to read your camera manual to figure something out, you can refer to these sites to help you understand some of those words that may not be familiar to you. It can be tremendously valuable to read your camera manual to become familiar with the capabilities of your gear. It's not like reading a novel, it's an instruction manual that you should refer to again and again to help build your knowledge of your equipment.
