Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing your new Digital Camera. This camera is a state-of-the-art camera bringing to you the ease of use of traditional cameras combined with such high-tech functionality as full-color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) photo previewing, allowing you to immediately see the pictures you have just taken; a built-in, non-expiring flash, up to 8MB or more of digital memory for storing your pictures; and an autoflash sensor, which automatically detects whether the flash should be engaged or not while taking a photo. Once you have finished taking your pictures, and have uploaded them to a computer, you can then use image editing software to enhance them before sending them off to print or you can print the pictures you took through the direct printing interface.
