Does Your Camera Have a Reset Button?

SUMMARY: Can you easily reset your digital camera settings to the default?

Check to see if your digital camera has a reset or panic button, such as a button labeled "P". This can help you quickly change your settings to the defaults in case you accidentally configured manual focus, a long shutter speed, an aperture that is too wide, etc. Also, if you have to configure your digital camera for a particular photograph, after that is done, a quick press of the "P" button can be quicker in getting your camera back to "normal" than fooling with several knobs and buttons.
