Just got? From where, and was it supposed to be working?

Start as the Basic user Guide says. Set mode dial on Auto. Go outside and point camera at a distant subject. Pressing shutter button should make it focus, and fully makes it shoot.

Try other distances. If it won't focus at all, you have a cute 19-year-old piece of junk.
