Use The Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera

The Nikon S60 is part of their Coolpix point and shoot digital camera series. The S60 features a 10-megapixel camera, 5x optical zoom, 4x optical zoom, 3.5-inch LCD screen and many more features. Though the Nikon S60 can take a long time to fully master, getting started with the camera is simple.


Instructions


1. Connect the power cable and charge to an electricity wall socket. Plug in the battery and wait for the charge LED to stop flashing. This shows that the battery has fully charged. Disconnect the charger and remove the battery once charged.


2. Push the "Card Battery" slot on the Nikon S60 up so that it unhinges. Follow the diagram to correctly insert the battery into the slot. Insert your memory card into the slot just above the battery. Close the battery cover.


3. Press "On/Off" to turn the camera on. The first time you turn the camera on you will have to set up the camera. Either use the stylus that is attached to the camera, or your finger to click on the screen. Select your language, set the time and date and choose your time zone. Choose "Yes" to format the memory card when prompted.


4. Press the "Shoot Mode Control" icon in the top left, then press the camera icon to enter Auto Mode.


5. Aim the camera so that you compose a shot. Press the trigger down halfway so that you focus the image, then press the trigger down the whole way to capture the image.


6. Press the "Play" button (second down on the left) to look through your existing photos, use the arrows to scroll through them and the recycle bin to delete them. Press the camera icon again to return to shooting mode.
