Age Concern has published a book explaining digital cameras and technology for the elderly, in the hope that it will raise awareness of the technology available to them.

Your Digital Camera Made Easy, written by Jackie Sherman, is targeted at those over 50 who either have a digital camera and want to learn more, or those completely new to the subject. It explains how best to choose a camera and breaks down confusing terminology, as well as demonstrating the editing and computing aspect involved.

Gordon Lishman, Director General of Age Concern, said: ‘While many over 50's are already familiar with digital cameras, others have yet to discover digital photography and open the door to personal computing, email and the internet. Jargon-heavy guides can make this new technology appear daunting, but this book will give anyone the confidence to get snapping with their digital camera.’

All profits from the sale of this book go to Age Concern to help it continue its work on behalf of all older people. It is available from www.ageconcern.org.uk/bookshop as well as all good bookshops, priced £8.99.
