What can I take pics of?
And Idea how to get awsome snaps?(Like..of people doing things or animals or somthing)
any good tips for pics?
First and foremost ead the insturction manual that comes with it…Nowadays these little point and shoot cameras have an owners manual that is thicker than the camera itself but they are jam pakced with good tips…Here is greaqt one for the hollidays…tried and true by yours truly..IF your camera has teh ability to shut off the flash ( manual will say so if possible) then secure the camera to a fixed loaction ( like a pce of funiture etc) and take a time lapse photo of your tree. If you take it this way the tree when lit will come out all warm and aglow….the lights will shine softly and the light given off by the tree will bathe your room in a warm light…If you take it with the flash you will not see the Christmas tree lights…..and the room will be very very bright. Your tree will not look nearly as well as the former method justdescribed.There are plenty of tricks and treats you will find that you can do with this camera so ad up on it and enjoy…8 megapixels shouel give you good quality pictures up to a 16×20 blow-up poster…After taht 8 megapixels starts to degrade a bit
Learn to use it correctly. From there then you learn proper compositon.

1—- always check the four corners f your frame so that everything is there that you want there…..no light poles out of heads or purse straps
2—when you sit down to relax or watch television , place a cup or something in front of you and photograph it repeatedly making small changes in your settings and compare how they look….
it will help you get to know your camera very quickly…
good ones to start with are the "flower" or macro(very close up)
and the +/-….this help with your exposure…in film it would be under or over expose…it lightens and darkens

First, just go out and have some fun. Set everything to Auto and let go! Getting a new camera is like getting a new car. You want to "drive" it right away and worry about the "owner’s manual" later. At some point you’ll decide you are ready to work at this a little bit.
Study the owners manual. If you are able to adjust the settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, study those elements of photography to understand how they affect the light coming into the camera and being captured by the sensor. You will want to search the internet for information about them. You don’t need to get real technical, just understand them.
Then study "the rule of thirds". This is a fundamental concept used in composing pictures. By using this rule, you will get more than "snaps". You’ll get what you really want – quality photos.
There is a lifetime of learning to be had in photography. Enjoy it. Move ahead when you are ready to move ahead. There are many forums and groups on the net you can join and learn from others. So have a good time beginning with the basics and moving on at your leisure. I’ve included some sample sites below for learning.

Firstly read the manual to get to know the camera and its settings you should use in taking pics. If camera has different AUTO modes like landscape, portrait, sport and night, use them and see how the pics come out.
Getting awesome pics has nothing to do with your camera or its number of megapixels. Read the following link:
