Read Your Camera Manual

I decided to read my manual in detail today and found some really useful information as summarized below

• There is a feature called Focus Lock.
• Position the flash above the lens when shooting vertically.
• Shade lens with hand if too much light is coming in.
• Lower ISO will result in slow shutter and less noise.
• Use high ISO for dimly lit areas.
• I can set white balance manually against a white sheet of paper.
• High EV better for light colored subjects. Low EV for dark colored subjects.
• Lower image size to 2MPs [from 8MP] I can get up to 6.1X optical/digital zoom without deterioration.
• Continuous shutter to take many photos continually.
• Use on screen grid display in composing photos.
• Contract, Saturation, Sharpness can be adjusted under quality menu.
• I can control flash intensity.
