Still, you need to learn about digital photography before you start using your camera.

Digital camera is just a tool to the vast world of photography. If you really want to learn digital photography, you need to realize the potential of your camera.
2. Read the manual
Unless you are really into photography, a lot of consumers didn't read the manual. If you are one of them, probably you have even misplaced the manual now.
But the fact is, your untouched manual is a very good guide for your digital photography hobby. It often surprises the consumers because their camera can do a lot more than they think.
3. Learn the basics
The basic of using a digital camera is to look at the subject from the LCD screen or eyepiece, focus on the subject manually or automatically, snap the picture and view it on TV or PC.
You will only know how to make your pictures unique after you master the basics.
4. Experiment
One of the best ways to understand the potential of your digital camera is to experiment with it.
Capture the subject with different mode and compare which of them is better. Sometimes capturing a picture under dim light with flash off is better than setting the flash on.
Since your pictures are stored digitally, you don't need to worry about spending money on film. The maximum wastage can only be battery power which is also rechargeable.
