How to Take Classes to Learn About Canon Cameras

Canon, the Japanese manufacturer of 35 mm digital single lens reflex, point-and-shoot and video cameras, offers a number of courses to help you become familiar with your new camera. Digital cameras are as much computers as they are cameras. They often have many menus and options that can be confusing or overwhelming. The courses offered by Canon and local retailers will help you get the most out of your camera.
