If you know nothing about photography ...

here is the safest thing to do.

Set your camera on the Green symbol on the mode dial.

This will automatically set the camera for every shot.

ONE IMPORTANT CAUTION

When you use the green icon, the camera will focus on whatever is closest to the lens and falls under one of the focus spots (red boxes) in the viewfinder.

So do not set up a shot of the shoreline where the camera can see the railing of the ship. The railing will be in focus instead of the shoreline.

Same thing if there is a vase of flowers on a table, and people you want in the picture at the back edge of the table.

Sometimes the flash will jump up.

That's OK.

Have a good trip, and when you get back, take some lessons.
