How can I find instructions on how to use a digital camera?? Via the Internet...?

Try eopions or cnet.

look up the brands website (Cannon, Motorola, Fuji, etc) they will usually have something you can down load about your camera. If you are looking for the best pictures just take lots of photo's and change settings to get used to it,

adorama.com has some free courses on using digital cameras

If you want to find operating instructions, try the makers web site and look for the support area.

For general information on camera use, Nikon has a good set of tutorials at http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/feelniko...
