borrowing a Lumix for a week, how do i use it?

[DankReefer]

I'm borrowing a friends lumix DMC-FZ18 and was wondering if you guys could give me a few pointers on what settings to use, and how to take a decent picture.
Any help would be appreciated it seems like a decent camera, i just dont have any experience taking pictures.

What do you plan to take pictures of?

ahhh sorry, i wanted to take some shots of a few small fish and some small colonies of sps/zoas

So, specifically aquarium photos rather than general family/nature/scenary?
