Digital Camera Tips For Beginners

Learn how to hold digital camera, if camera shake, its bad
Learn how to compose a shot by understanding the rule of thirds
Understand the three elements of the exposure triangle - ISO, Shutte Speed and Aperture. ISO and its effect on your photos is easy to understand. Shutter speed is fairly simple (faster=less motion) and Aperture is pretty darn complex. Start putting the three togather and you can get confused quickly. Start slowly by focusing on one at a time, experiment with different shots at different ISO or shutter speed settings
Learn how to tell your camera to control these settings. YOu can do so much with a point and shoot camera
Much with the white balance. Hey, I just said that was an advanced topic, didn't I? Well, dealing with white balance is actually pretty simple, and it allows you to tweak your camera to account for the kind of light you're working under in order to get realistic color. It gets fun when you intentionally change the white balance to get odd colors on purpose.
