If you just bought a digital camera and want to make the best use of it, with the least amount of effort, then this is the article you want to read. I talk about the basics and you can get started immediately. I highly recommend the e-book at the end of this article.

To learn how to use a digital camera you must, first, know the basic difference between a regular and digital camera, second, know what exposure means and when to keep in automatic and when to use in manual, and the basics of zoom.

First let's talk about why a digital camera is different

It doesn't have a film like a regular camera. All the images are stored on a memory, like the memory in computers. Once you take a photo, you can immediately view it on your viewfinder

Second is the aspect of exposure
Best part about digital camera's is they have automatic exposure, so you don't need to make any adjustments. Just put it in the automatic mode.
More exposure means more light coming into the camera. So simple idea for right exposure, if it is low light is, increase exposure.

Third is zoom
Zoom is how close you can get to the image.
One type of zoom is optical. This is real zoom. The camera actually gets "close" to the camera.
Second is digital zoom. The digital image is actually "expanded" and it is not that you actually get close to the object. So this is all you need to start using your new digital camera. To learn how to use a digital camera, first, learn how it is different from non-digital camera, second what exposure means, and third the two types of zoom.

    A digital camera might look like a film camera but they are actually quite different. Both freeze light to make a photograph. Film cameras do this chemically using film. Digital cameras use a light sensitive CCD or CMOS silicon chip to convert light and digital information into pixels.
