[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 136385, member: 12542"] One of the things to help is in preview; once in that you will have the toggle (I don't own a 5000 series) so read the manual. The preview screen will change to give you valuable information one of which is the histogram and also it will tell you the exposure (f/stop, shutter, ISO and even which metering you chose. There is also a graphic display in the viewfinder that has a series of marks and in the center the tick mark is large. It is your light meter working; as you move the aperture (lens opening) or the shutter (allows light to "exposed" the digital sensor) a tick mark will eventually move to the center once there focus and press the shutter button. Now I am not being "smart" just that we all have been there at one time. So please do not take offense as I am sure you are learning. A book I would recommend is Bryan Peterson "Understanding Exposure". This is a great hobby even better now that it is digital and you do not have to wait for film to develop and getting prints. Good luck, Lou Cioccio [/QUOTE]
