Point and Shoot or Camera Control Master

Point and shoot digital cameras are very similar to the first Kodak handhelds, you aim, press the button and the camera does the rest. Your digital camera will set the focus, color balance, exposure and other parameters for you automatically. Or, you can take control and make these adjustments yourself. Why get caught in a photo taking situation with no idea of how to use a feature you seldom or never used. Chances are you won't have your camera manual or the time to read it if you do. So, I suggest that you master the controls of your camera. If there are to many to remember, you can always make a Cheat Sheet. You might check to see if one was included with your camera. If not, CS's are not hard to put together.
