The Author and Photographer:
One of Paul's photographic activities is to teach beginners how to use their digital cameras. Most of these people have quite basic cameras although some have more advanced models. Topics that Paul teaches include the mechanics of using a camera, composition, through to loading the images to a computer and preparing them for email and printing.
Disclaimer: The information contained in this document is generic in nature in that Paul cannot describe the features of your particular camera. Most cameras have similarities that he attempts to describe, but each manufacturer has their own way(s) of implementing (or not) any particular feature. Should this document conflict with what your camera's manufacturer states or recommends in the manual or other instructions, it is better to follow those instructions. All information is provided in good faith but honest errors can occur (Paul is only human!) and how it is used is beyond the control of the author.
