Taking pictures
This chapter describes the basic process of taking pictures with
your digital camera and gives you tips for taking the best pictures.
When you are familiar with this process, you can use the
advanced camera functions described in later chapters.
Note If the camera is on, you can take a picture anytime,
even if the image display is off or shows a menu.
