I recently bought a digital camera which takes video as well, I lost the directions and can't figure it out.

What do I do?

you can usually go to the website of the manufacturer to download the manual. also, if it's a popular camera you can go to http://www.dpreview.com and get information as well.

You should be able to download the owner's manual from the manufacturer's website. I make it a point to download them every time I buy something new, just in case I loose the paper copy.
