I just got a camera Christmas 2008, so I’m still getting used to it. It has a bunch of different settings on it, and I know what most of them mean, but not the one. It’s called the museum setting, and I’m wondering if anyone knows what you’re suppose to use it for, or what it’s good for??? Please help me. Thanks!
Museums do not allow you to use flash photography on the exhibits, because the flash (or the photons) will deteriorate the exhibits or art works.
That setting on your camera allows you to get better photos of the exhibits while not using your flash. It keeps the shutter open slightly longer to allow more light into your camera that is bouncing off the object.

Most museums do not allow you to use the flash, however it’s usually difficult to get a clear picture (in my experience) without the flash. I would think that the museum setting would turn the flash off and somehow compensate so the pictures are still clear.

The setting is for use in areas that do not allow flash… like museums.

the museum setting is actually for museums, and must not be used anywhere else, so be careful not to use the museum setting but in museums !
i know im being silly, i have so many settings on my camera, like the look-at-me-im-so-important-self-portrait setting
again more silly humour
now if one really wanted to know how to use a camera, take a camera course, and learn to use manual settings…

Why don’t you have a look in your User Manual? It will explain what all the Scene Modes are best used for.
