I've got a Digital Camera NOW WHAT?
(Class 101)
This is an entry level class designed for people who have a digital camera or who are thinking about purchasing one. The class is limited to 10 students and pre-registration and advance payment is required. Many of the topics to be discussed are listed below. We do recommend that you bring your camera if you have one, but it is not required. As you think of any questions, please write them down and bring them to class. We find many students forget those important questions when they get to class. The evening class is held after regular store hours, so the doors will be open from 6:30 to 7:00pm and then locked. Please don’t be late to the evening class.
