Camera Basics


Here are some very general instructions and tips on getting started with your camera, assuming it is a 35mm single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera, a commonly used model. Your camera needs one or more batteries to operate. Different models take batteries of different sizes. If your camera is new,
it probably comes packaged with the needed battery or batteries. Some cameras have a battery
power indicator, usually displayed on an LCD screen. It’s a good idea to bring extra batteries with you when you are photographing, just in case you need them. Automated cameras usually have a power switch or button that you must turn on to operate the camera. Keeping the power on drains battery power, so switch off the camera when you’re not using it. Manually operated cameras are
often ready for use all the time, without having to be turned on.
