Tip from Gary Resnick, Dig Cam 101 Instructor
If you click onto the www.megapixel.net website and select "English",  there will be several choices.  One of which is "Articles".  In this section, both the selections "camera basics" and "photography tips" have browse buttons.  Clicking onto them and scrolling down will reveal many articles of interest that should help the reader better understand some of the terms used and the functions of  his/her digital camera.
