Using a multi-mode digital camera.
Take a little time with your new digital camera. Sometimes people buy the wrong camera which is not suitable for their needs. If this is the case with you then you can turn it around. Lets say you bought more than a simple model. There is all these different mode settings. Think that you will "wing it", that works sometimes. But, you will find you miss some terrific shots! An example would be ... there is a thunder storm, the clouds are quickly changing shape and constantly moving. You know it is getting darker by the minute! Getting all excited you don't check your settings ... you fumble for the setting icon picture that best resembles what you are going to take. Or worst yet, you use the setting that you had last set the camera at. You are just too excited.
Haphazardly, you do manage to get a few good shots. Taking the to read the manual pays off. On some the multi mode digital cameras there is a setting you have to go into, to get to another set mode. Just like on the computer when one navigates to get into one place to get to another. Not knowing how to get to the right place is not good, when you are Johnnie on the spot trying to capture that storm cloud.
One cannot read the whole manual in one shot, and expect to understand it all. But one can read on the types of shots they think they will be taking more of. You can get a surprise and think you took that most perfect picture, to find later when you put it on the computer that it is all blurry. You scratch your head, you were sure you didn't shake the camera. What you got is called deterioration. This occurs when the zoom is not recording right because you have too many megapixel set? For example you may have the megapixel for the largest picture possible. Well when the camera has the zoom on ... it is only recording the optical at 4.0x while the camera is set L (3648X2736 on 10M digital camera). With a zoom on, one needs to set to lower megapixels, like M2 size, or smaller.
So many cameras so many different setting methods.
