[QUOTE="Cowboybillybob1, post: 128788, member: 11894"] This goes against someone else's advice but I will stick by it. First of all shoot in RAW=+ JPEG (Fine). It will help when you start to do some processing on your pics in a program like Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Essentials, and many if not all others. I won't go into it too much right now but soon enough it will become essential. Now there is no substitute for reading the Manual, which can be quite dry. You can pick up a book like this : [url=http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=magic+lantern+guides+d3200]Amazon.com: magic lantern guides d3200: Books[/url] It covers everything in the manual but with more detail and easier reading and comprehension. I also think that you should take a shot in Scene mode (or Programmed mode) and when you preview it all the settings used will be listed. You can then use those setting in Manual mode (that is your ultimate goal). This will give you a feel for what does what. White balance is important so read the Manual or from the book I suggested to understand what that does. Most of all is have fun! [/QUOTE]
