Learning to use my camera

[Spider]

I'm off on Holiday soon and going on a cruise liner. Want some nice shots but want to learn to use my camera correctly because at the moment 90% of shots come out blurred! Those that come out are absolutely stunning, but if the camera is not held perfectly still, I get a lot of blurring.

It’s an 8MP Nikon Coolpix P1, and just wanted some basic pointers on what modes to use, what resolution/quality settings and some other basic pointers on a newbie wanting to get some decent pics out of a camera.

Before anyone gives me RTFM, it doesn’t really cater for using the camera, just describes what each mode does (of which there are dozens!) IIRC

Thanks

There is a photography section further down the index page.

ROFL! I can honestly say, i have *never* seen that forum down there - didn't even know it existed. lol!

Apologies!
