Camera Preparation

Get Loaded: 2 things a digital camera needs to function, a battery and a memory

card.

Battery - Digital cameras use a lot of battery power. Be sure to have an e tra

set handy.

Memory card - device to record or “hold” your pictures until they are moved to a

computer or printed. The number of pictures your camera will take is determined

by the size of memory card.

Most digital cameras will have an LCD screen. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal

Display. Try to avoid touching the screen as it will leave

fingerprints.
