[QUOTE="Patrick M, post: 247112, member: 2332"] The best resource for the D7100? YOU ARE! Practice practice practice Something I found useful when I started a few years, as a beginner to digital photography, and after a 25 year break from it too... Use a tripod to get consistent shots. Set the camera to AUTO. Frame and focus the shot. Take the photo and make a note of ALL settings. Switch to manual (M) and set up the camera settings that you noted earlier. Retake the shot. Try changing one setting at a time to see the effect Repeat for various settings. Do it all again using ASP settings. I leave the camera in A (aperture) usually. Everybody has a preference. Do not leave it in Auto as you'll never learn. Finally, use Scene modes. These really are good. Again, as discussed, see what the camera set up, and replicate as you figure out why. These are expert settings...you can learn lots. [/QUOTE]
