Canon POWERSHOT A75 Installation guide

CANON POWERSHOT A75 BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
The Canon A75 is a modern, full function digital camera that can be set up to
handle almost any situation. For our purposes we have set it up to perform as a simple
“Point and Shoot” camera. This will yield very good results and doesn’t require the
user to be a skilled photographer.
The camera is set up for automatic focusing and exposure. The flash will operate
automatically in low light with the “red eye reduction” feature activated. The
compression and resolution settings will produce approximately 94 high quality
photographs on the memory card. The camera will have charged batteries and a blank
memory card installed, you shouldn’t have to change them, but if you do instructions
are provided. DO use the belt loop and wrist strap to hold the camera, and DON’T
leave the camera where it can get too hot or too cold – like in a car.
