So I purchased the Canon camera a couple months ago, I don’t understand everything yet. The kit lens it came with is the 18-55mm lens.
On the back of the actual camera itself there’s + and – buttons. Is this only to zoom into the picture after its taken to just check the picture? Or is there no actual zoom on the camera itself, but the different lens you buy depends on that?
Thanks (:

I have the same camera with the same lens. There is only zoom on the lenses you attach to the camera – the camera body itself cannot zoom in to take photos.
The + and – buttons are simply for checking out pictures after you take them or for magnifying what the camera sees in the Live View screen while taking photos. Press the + button once while shooting photos with the Live View screen and the camera with magnify the picture a certain amount, press it twice and it will magnify it even more, while a third press will take you back to normal view.
This magnification function while taking photos allows you to focus more accurately as tiny details are a lot clearer and well, magnified. Hope that helps.
Yes. You may want to take at least a basic photo class so you do not get too frustrated trying to learn how to use a fully adjustable camera using the "try and fail" method and not using your fine user manual that came with it. One of the things covered in the manual speaks to those pesky + and – buttons
Other than the fact that P&S and dSLR cameras both take photos, they are nothing alike
