12. With most digital cameras, taking pictures is the same as with a standard camera: just point the camera and push the shutter button. Most digital cameras have viewfinders but some digital cameras have LCD screens. LCD screens let you see the image before you shoot and allow you to delete pictures you don’t want, saving you time, effort, and camera memory. Unlike standard cameras, instead of storing pictures on film, digital cameras use a form of computer memory. Digital camera memory limits vary and may be supplemented with memory cards or specialty storage disks How to use a Digital Camera Recording

13. Some digital cameras allow you to actually view the pictures taken with built in LCD screens. Digital cameras usually connect and download to a computer using a built-in card reader (like our classroom computers) or use a USB port. Most digital cameras have video/photo output that allows the camera to send out the signal directly through a standard RGB cable to a television, projector or VCR.

17. Most digital cameras and digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras have a variety of small pictures on a dial that indicate the various exposure/mode settings the cameras are capable of using. As you will see in the images below, most digital cameras have similar controls for their various exposure settings. The classroom camera has these modes:  Auto  10 Scenes  Manual exposure mode  Movie Digital Camera Modes Explained http://digital-photography-school.com/digital-camera-modes/

18. I suspect no one will need any introduction to this mode (as it seems most digital camera owners use it). Auto mode tells your camera to use it’s best judgement to select shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot that it can. This mode will give you nice results in many shooting conditions, however you need to keep in mind that you’re not telling your camera any extra information about the type of shot you’re taking so it will be ‘guessing’ as to what you want. As a result some of the following modes might be more appropriate to select as they give your camera a few more hints (without you needing to do anything more).
