Taking Pictures with a Digital Camera 1. Ensure digital camera is turned on and battery is fully charged. Memory card should have sufficient space to store new pictures. 2. Turn camera to the proper setting. Most cameras come equipped with a still setting and a setting for taking action photos. (If the class is taking part in an outside activity it may be better for the teacher to use the action photo setting. The teacher may choose to use the still photo setting if the class is working on an activity inside the classroom.) 3. Take care to ensure the flash is turned on in low light settings. The flash should be turned off when the camera is used outside on a sunny day or when there is sufficient lighting in the room. Many of the newest digital camera models automatically flash when the camera requires more lighting. Read over the manufacturer manual to determine if the digital camera you are using has this feature. 4. Press and hold the shutter button until picture is taken. 5. Review the picture to determine if the photo was captured successfully.
