[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 198836, member: 13090"] Okay, here's what I suggest you do... The Primary Problem, it seems to me, is you are over-thinking a lot of this. I suggest you SIMPLIFY things for now and just get your feet wet. You need to ground yourself in the basics of things like how shutter speed, aperture, focal length and ISO all work in conjunction with one another. I would start by putting your camera on "A"perture Priority mode and *leaving it* there. I would suggest you leave your Auto Focus mode on "S" for now and focus on shooting stills. Turn "Auto ISO" back on and let if have control. Go shoot a lot of pictures and read you books. Learn about the exposure triangle until you can recite it backwards and forwards and REALLY understand what it means.
