When my camera is on and in the shooting mode, there is a little yellow camera with an explanation point with 2 squiggly lines on each side of the camera,
showing on the right side of the screen
Re: When my camera is on and in the shooting mode, there...
It's a warning. Conditions are to dark, so the shutter time is so slow that you can risk shaken pictures.
A solution could be to raise the ISO or use flash or simply support the camera on a firm surface.

First of all, you need to be out of the point&shoot modes. Those modes are designed to let you point the camera and shoot, with very little control over the resulting picture besides the framing and timing.
ISO sensitivity is in the Shooting menu. Rotate the mode dial to P, M, or Hi ISO, then press the MENU button. Use cursor-up/down to select "ISO Sensitivity".
There is nothing wrong with your camera. You nailed the explanation....your meter thinks there is plenty of light and cuts down the exposure. Two ways to do this:
1. Point your camera toward the part you want properly exposed and press the exposure lock button. Then, recompose, focus and shoot.
2.Press the exposure compensation button and set a lower number.
I don't think it is squiggly line but water and the explanation point is a thermometer, you are overheating. Check the coolant, find out why it is on. Hope this helps.
You pull down on the clip on the side of the camera. That will open the back of the camera. Pull out a little of the film from the canister. Put the canister into the side with the spindle. Put the end of the film that you pulled out over the roller on the opposite side of the camera then shut the lid and turn on the camera.
No. One problem with many point&shoot cameras is that they only let you point and shoot, giving you little to no control over the other aspects of photography.
Have the camera in shooting mode ready to take a picture. Press the right arrow button (this is the flash mode setting option). Keep pressing the right arrow to get to the desired flash mode you are looking for. In your case you want the squiggly arrow in a circle for flash off. One you do that then you are ready to take the image and the flash will not fire.
