New here using my optio M20 to take reference photos to paint

Due to ME allowing life to get ahead of me, I stopped painting about 4 years ago About 2 years ago I picked up an optio m20 at the neighborhood center I volunteer at. Finally I;m returning to my art and I got out my camera to grab reference pics. as I read the manual I just down loaded, I'm realizing I got a whole lot more camera that I thought I did!! As I begin to work with the camera, I may well be back for guidance. Glad to know the forum is here

Another "hi" from Australia. Yes - a camera is a great tool for reference photos for painting. And they seem to have been used ever since photography began if we examine some of the earliest impressionist paintings.
