The Canon PowerShot G9 is a digital camera designed for the beginner-to-intermediate user. The Canon G9 comes equipped with 12.4 megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, 3-inch LCD display, video-recording capabilities and an anti-glare/anti-scratch protective coating. Although the PowerShot G9 features an array of customizable settings, beginning users can leave many of these on "Auto" and allow the camera to do much of the work; as you gain familiarity with the device, you can experiment with these settings as desired.
Instructions
1. Turn the camera over and open the battery/memory card cover. Insert a fully charged battery into the battery bay. Insert a memory card into the memory card slot. Close the battery/memory card cover.
2. Press the power button. If necessary, set the date and time by pressing the "Menu" button and making the appropriate selection from the displayed list of options. Press the "Func/Set" button to confirm your selection, then use the arrow buttons to change the time and date settings as desired. Press the "Func/Set" button, followed by the "Menu" button to save your settings.
3. Turn the mode dial to the "Auto" setting. Aim the camera at your subject and frame the image as desired. Apply light pressure to the shutter button; when it beeps twice and the indicator light turns green, this means the camera is properly focused.
4. Push the shutter button all the way down. The camera will now take a picture and display the image on its LCD screen. Review your image; if satisfied, proceed to the next step; otherwise, make any desired adjustments and take another picture.
5. Connect the camera to a printer or computer using the packaged USB interface cable. Turn on your connected device, then turn the camera's mode dial to "Playback." To send images to a printer, use the arrow buttons to select the desired picture, then press the button labeled with a printer icon. To download images to your computer, use the arrow buttons to select which photos you want to transfer, then press the button labeled with a printer icon. Disconnect and turn off the camera after the printing process or file transfer is complete.
