Eletronics are so easy to use nowadays that most of us simply ignore the users’ manual and start using the product right away. However, for digital cameras, you will find a lot of value in reading how to use the features your camera has to offer. I guarantee you will improve your results just by learning how to take the most out of each situation.
There is a reason why your camera offers several pre-programmed modes. Each of them are prepared to use the different features in a way to get the most of the light in your scene, and will certainly be better than the Auto mode you probably use 99% of the time.
But this is just the beggining. Playing with different white balance, ISO, focus options will take you to a whole different level of results, and all of a sudden you’ll find yourself giving the first steps in the fascinating world of photography.
Don’t know where your manual is? Just Google the camera model and type user manual .PDF. Even if you know where your phisical version is, having the digital edition will facilitate searching for specific features you might want to learn about.
