Need help with my Canon Powershot D10

[maslex]

I am truly clueless when it comes to working a camera. LOL I have always been a point & shoot kind of girl.

Last year I bought the Canon Powershot D10 (mainly for it's underwater use) but it is also my main camera for all other pictures.

I am a scrapbooker and tend to take many photos. Not that they're great pics by any means, but I do take quite a few.

Anyhow, in one of my scrapbook idea books they were giving tips on taking "action shots", say like at a sports game or outside in the snow sledding, etc. That way, say if I was at my son's soccer game and I want to have a succession of photos of the game, I would put the camera on "action" or "sports" etc.

My question is this....does any know if the Powershot D10 has this feature? And if not, do you know of any point/shoot cameras that do?

Many point and shoots have scene settings. The best place to start learning about your camera is your instruction manual. I have been shooting dslrs for years, yet I still carry my manual everywhere. You never know when you'll hit a button accidently and can't figure out what you did....or you get an error message and without the manual, you'll have no clue what it means.

Looks like your best setting on that camera might be "Kids and Pets". See pp. 57 in your manual.
