[QUOTE="Kias, post: 96890, member: 9496"] Put the top dial on "A" then rotate the front dial until the number that is changing on the screen says 22 (or whatever number you want.) That answers your question directly. The only problem is you might run into other problems if you do that. I too just got a D7000 with the Sigma 17-70mm a few days ago. However, I spent the previous 9 months studying heavily about basic SLR photography technique. Now I know enough to know I know nothing. :cool: The camera manual is your friend. Darrell Young's Mastering the Nikon D7000 is your good friend. Google is your best friend ever! Try googling terms like, "F Stop" and "Depth of Field" and "Exposure Triangle" and "Basic SLR Photography" then if you see a term you don't understand while reading that, google it! As others have mentioned, put the camera in Auto and shoot away while you're learning. Instant Gratification! But do realize that camera is capable of so much more! There are things I thought I would never understand, and now, three days later, it's starting to come naturally while I shoot. If you put the time and effort into learning the basics, then time and effort into the learning the specific camera, you will be rewarded! [/QUOTE]
