[QUOTE="nickt, post: 658624, member: 4923"] Agreed. There are no best settings. What are the best settings for your new oven? Sure, I could say 350 degrees and 35 minutes. A few things would cook very nicely but everything else will over or undercook. Its best to understand what needs to happen to cook the food. Same for exposure. A small change in light could make the best settings into the worst settings. No shame in your friend using Auto, P, or Scene mode until he gets a handle on things. Then he can move to aperture mode or shutter mode as he begins to see issues with the more automatic modes. You might find a list giving general settings for typical situations, but that becomes a problem when the light changes. Steer him to some articles or youtube videos on the exposure triangle so he can make an informed adjustment when auto is not giving the desired result.
