3 Ways to Take a Picture with a Digital Camera – wikiHow

The first step to using a digital camera is simply turning the device on. Most cameras have a small on button located somewhere on the side of the camera. If you don’t see your camera’s on button, read your manufacturer’s instructions. They should explain how to find the on button.

Most digital cameras only have enough storage to hold a few pictures on their own. You’ll need to insert a memory card into your camera so it can hold a large amount of photos. You can buy a memory card at most electronic stores or supermarkets.

Digital cameras come with a variety of buttons. You should spend some time familiarizing yourself with what these buttons do. Some buttons help you zoom in and take pictures. Others allow you to adjust settings on your camera.
