I shoot primarily with a battered LG VX11000 camera-phone, when I am not using the waterproof version of the Fisher-Price KidTough Digital Camera.

I’d appreciate a tutorial.
A cam-phone video tutorial demonstrating my use of the baby-cam.
Thou tutor thou.
What lens do you use?
What’s a lens?
I like this tutorial.
The thing with the baby-cam is you have to make sure it’s turned on. If it’s turned off, it won’t take any pictures!
how can I tell if my thumb is in the picture?
Okay, this is where you have to use your own judgment and not just rely on the technology. Let’s say you want to take a picture of a man in a shark tunnel. Now sometimes your thumb might look like a man — or even a shark! — but the camera has, like, these little windows you peer through and this little screen, too, that shows you what you’re pointing at. If your thumb is in the picture, it’s going to look REAL BIG! That sounds funny, I know, because your thumb is itty-bitty compared to a man or a shark, but trust me! If it is your thumb, it will take up nearly the whole picture. The reason is on account of something technical about distance, and it is something you do not need to know about right now.
When you’re older.
Okay. I think I’m getting it.
Can we start over?
You bet! It takes some practice!
But once you get good, you can do the coolest things.
The camera’s WATERPROOF, which means that when I come to Dallas we could take it to the SHARK TUNNEL!
Okay, but what if my thumb gets wrinkly?
Then it is probably time to take a break and go to where the food is and eat fish-shaped french fries.
I’m going to keep practicing.
