I believe I read somewhere in the manual that I can take pictures, but I can't find it in the manual, and I can't see any appropriate buttons/settings on the camera... if this is possible, how do I do it?

I've only been using it for personal use thus far, but I'm going to be taking pictures for someone else, so if my Z1U can do it, I'd like to use it... preferrably not by using snapshots in the VLC player.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know the camera you have but here are three suggestions (a) Is your camera a megapixel CCD camera - it will say on the body of the camera (b) Does it have a photomode button - usually located somewhere near the rear of the camera and (c) Is there a card slot where you can insert a Compact Flash, Secure Digital or Smart Media card etc?
