Here's a quick tutorial:
1. Charge the battery
2. Aim camera
3. Click (use finger, don't put finger in front of lens)
4. Plug camera into computer USB port, click OK
5. View digital pictures
6. Post pictures
10 minutes??? The book on these damned things is bigger than the camera...a Travis McGee novel is a faster read. Then there are all those tiny controls for my big hands to try to maneuver. The controls on these things were designed for tiny hands. NOT ergometric at all. Love the controls on my Olympus film
SLR. But that tiny thing? Fergit it!

Yes, the gift was very thoughtful. Cindy's 86 year old friend appreciated it. We still have the coolpix Nikon that Evren & Ruki gave us. Just that Cindy liked it over the olympus...I have no idea why. But, it didn't make sense to either of us to have two cameras about when we didn't really have a use for either of them.
