The Canon camera has many features and functions, many of which
will never be used by the casual photographer. It is up to the user to
decide which ones to use based on individual experience level. Refer
to the Canon camera manual for detailed instructions on the many
different features. To start out, you just need to know that the cam-
era can be used in automatic mode or manual mode. Turn the Canon
camera on by depressing the "oN/oFF" button on the top right side of
the camera.

"Auto" mode on the Canon camera (FIGURE 1)
To select the "auto" mode, which is colored green on the mode dial (on
the top side of the Canon), simply turn the mode dial so that "auto"
aligns with the white mark. In the auto mode, the user does not need
to make any decisions about settings because the camera determines
the optimal settings for each particular picture. In auto mode, press
the shutter about halfway and the camera will focus, beeping twice to
indicate it is in focus. once you familiarize yourself with the various
features of the Canon, you might want to experiment with the manual
mode which allows you to control numerous settings.
