As digital photography becomes more advanced, it becomes easier and easier to take great pictures. Improved technology has made it affordable for consumers to own high-quality digital cameras, to make excellent prints using ink jet printers, and to post and send pictures over the Internet. Just a few years ago, it was an intricate process just to connect a digital camera to a computer, let alone learn how to operate one.

This lesson is designed to illustrate the simplicity of setting up, programming and capturing images with a Nikon D-70s digital SLR. We will also cover saving or deleting them on the camera, and copying the image files to a computer.
