The only starting point I use is to determine if shutter or aperture is going to dominate the scene and go from there. There is no cheat sheet of spot on settings to speak of. Every situation has it's own settings and within each situation depending on how you frame the shot, which angle of view you choose. The setting will be totally different. Plus you may want to see motion in a scene or you may not. You may want more DOF in the shot and you may want less. If using a variable aperture lens. If shooting in manual, every time you change the zoom setting your going to have to adjust your settings because the aperture constantly moves around. If there's a cheat sheet out there I can't see how it would possibly work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
