A friend of mine borrowed my G10 for a trip to Europe. She usually shoots in full auto mode, and the results aren't always good. I've put together a little manual for her with a few useful tips like shoot in P-mode, use exposure compensation, keep minimum ISO, check focus, etc.

Posted it in my blog in 4 parts:

It is for beginners, not advanced amateurs. However, I would very much appreciate your critique, suggestions, additions and corrections (sorry, English isn't my first language).

Thanks!
 
I looked at your blog, and "coincidently", the photo of you looks like an old photo of actor Robert Walker.
 
Nicely done. I found it useful.
 
Excellent advice especially applicable to beginners using compact digicams, and very clearly presented. I would re-post this in the Beginner's Questions forum.

Nice job

Thanks Vjim
 
To heck with the guide, where can I get an iPhad? LOL just kidding bud! That's a pretty good guide for any new P&S user looking to experiment a bit more and improve their shooting capabilities.
Good job!

Very useful tips for those beginners and a very good job, friend. Well done. I always use my G10 in good light.

Nicely done. Clear, concise, and presented in a logical order. A nice way to ease somebody into getting off the AUTO mode.
 
Thanks for your very concise and helpful instructions. I find they apply to the G11 as well as the G10. :0)

I want one too! It's a foolproof technology that worked great with TV sets back in '40s. As we all know, optical zoom is always better than digital!
