Use a Canon Powershot S5
The Canon Powershot S5 is an 8-megapixel consumer digital camera with a huge 12x optical zoom lens for getting close to all the action. The camera is slightly larger than traditional consumer digital cameras and packed with tons of features that make it easy to take great pictures, as well as manual options that give you the flexibility to manipulate your pictures the way you want.
Instructions
1. Turn the wheel on the top of the camera to select a particular scene mode. Scene modes will automatically compensate for the typical lighting and motion in a particular situation. For instance the sports setting (designated by a running man icon) will increase your shutter speed so you can capture things such as moving people and balls.
2. Press the function button to access menu change the file size of the pictures you are taking. The camera defaults to taking high-resolution 8-megapixel pictures which will take up a lot of space on your memory card. If you plan on just putting your pictures on the web or making small prints you can reduce the file size to get more pictures on your card. The file size will be at the bottom of the screen on the left and designated originally by a "L" for "Large" file size.
3. Press the ISO button on the back of the camera to charge the ISO setting of your camera. ISO is essentially the film speed in your digital camera. For very bright situations you will want to use a low ISO, for darker situations you will want to use a high one. Experiment to get to the perfect ISO for each situation. In auto mode the camera will automatically pick the right ISO with no need for you to manipulate it.
4. Press the "Disp" button to the right of the bottom of the LCD screen to turn off the camera's LCD screen. LCD screens take up a lot of battery power, so, to maximize your battery life, try to keep the LCD screen off and turn it on only when you need to review pictures or charge settings in the camera.
5. Press the menu button to access things such as the self-timer, to turn off the digital zoom, and turn the time stamp on or off on your pictures.
