[QUOTE="nickt, post: 658636, member: 4923"] Giving 'the settings' will just frustrate your friend. As soon as something changes, he won't know how to adapt. And things change quickly. Auto or P mode is right there with him and will give him better settings than we can from here. My standard advice... learn the exposure triangle. Learn it BEFORE reading the manual. The manual will make much more sense if he understands the relationship between shutter, aperture and iso. The camera is full of tools to get the perfect exposure. If he doesn't know [B]why[/B] he might want to juggle the exposure values, the tools just won't make any sense. It won't take long to learn the exposure basics. Then he will just need help with the autofocus system:). [/QUOTE]
