Welcome to Camera-wiki.org's Help Portal.

First please be sure to follow our copyright rules when adding content.

You can begin by browsing the site and making changes to the current pages. You can practice in the Sandbox. If you have questions about the markup syntax, you can read our brief Editing Help and the pages linked to it, have a look at the other pages in this directory and the external links at the bottom of this page or ask for help in Camera-wiki.org's main discussion page or (if it's related to Flickr) through our Flickr group discussions.

Don't forget to cite your sources, to categorize your page and to link an added image back to its source page.
