Lenses for the Bridge Camera

It's still a point-and-shoot camera with a fixed lens. You can't take the lens off and swap it with another one.

If your camera's lens has a filter thread on it, you may be able to attach a semi-fisheye adapter to it. If there is no filter thread, your other option is to use a magnetic or stick on fisheye adapter. Most point-and-shoot cameras do not have the option to use a semi-fisheye lens adapter. Such is a fact of life.

The Kodak DX7590 pictured below has an optional filter tube that allowed the installation of a UV filter or a semi-fisheye adapter.

Panorama, the lazy way

Take the picture normally. Transfer to your computer. Fire up your favorite graphics program. Paint will do but Irfanview (freely downloadable from the internet) is better. Cut the extra top and bottom parts.

Sound with Video

Not all digital cameras do video. Among the few that do, not all record sound. To those that do, not all play back sound in-camera. You will have to transfer the video file to your computer and play it there to hear the sound.

If your video file does not play either video or sound or both see this.

ISO

ISO is an international standard for light sensitivity. The higher it is, the more sensitive to light the capturing medium is, the more concentrated the light becomes, the more grain appears on the picture.

Ideally, you should always use the lowest ISO setting possible for rich and vivid colors. When the picture becomes blurred or when the camera insists on using the flash, you may try raising ISO. Bear in mind that the higher the ISO value the more grainy the picture becomes. In very low light, it is most advisable to use the flash. If you don't know what you're doing, it would be best to leave ISO setting to Auto and let the camera decide the best one for you.
