[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 500698, member: 6277"] W=Wide T=Tele Wide will get all the scene in and Tele will zoom into a distance object and make it look closer. Stars and moon. Two totally different types of shooting. A wide shot of the moon will just give you a dark sky and a overexposed white thing. If you zoom into the moon close enough what you are looking at is reflected sunlight. It is very bright so exposing for that is a lot more difficult with one of the bridge cameras. The camera has scene modes that might help you to get better photos overall. I suggest you find the manual and read up on using those modes. If you lost it or just threw it away because you said "Oh, I don't need this" here is where you can download it [url]https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19389/~/nikon-coolpix-l840---reference-manual[/url] I am actually looking at buying this very camera for my wife. She shoots the D7000 most of the time but is going on a trip to New York city and does not want to be carrying around a big camera. In a week or so I should be able to answer all your questions on this camera better. [/QUOTE]
