Is it bad to take a picture of the sun with a digital camera?

best digital camera of canon image

Bizzy

I have a point and shoot digital camera, a Canon HS 300 to be exact.
I'm curious to know if taking pictures of the sun is bad for the camera? I took a few today. But can constant pictures of the sun damage the camera?

Answer
Contrary to the other people who answered, Ive heard that the sun can damage the sensor in your camera if it is too bright (time of day) or if your lens is zoomed in on the sun. At sunset or sunrise, you should be ok.

How do I take a closeup picture using my digital camera?

What settings do I set my camera to?
And where would I find the setting?

Note: Mine is a fairly advanced digital camera from Canon.

(Give me the general settings for closeup pictures. What other tips do you have to offer?)

Answer
Most Canon P&S cameras have a "macro" mode that allows the camera to focus on close subjects - Somewhere on your camera should be a button with a little flower - press it and there you go...
