If you do not have one, download the PDF from Nikon site.Do a similar exercise for View NX-2.. Before the D-day, try out your camera in similar light. Start with aperture priority - ISO 100, and fastest aperture on your kit lense. Then cycle at different ISO - 200 to 6400.. If the kit is 18-55, try a few shots at 18, 35 and 55mm, to get an idea of the field of view.. If you find that the speed is too low and your images are blurred, then up the ISO gradually till there is no blur.. The older 70-300 is pretty bad at 300, but workable between 70 and 200. Try to be within this range if you require the reach, else avoid it.. Do your trial photography both with and without the inbuilt flash. To use flash in aperture priority mode, just pop it up manually - there is a button on the side which does it.. Once you figure out what is the maximum ISO that gives you least acceptable noise, use it indoors if flash is not allowed, else better stick to ISO 100 with flash.As a last resort, if are getting no where after following the above steps, then use the idiot proof mode - "P". That makes your camera a P&S, so you aim, press the shutter half way to focus and then press it fully to shoot.Shoot RAW, and view them in View NX-2 which comes with the camera. If  it is not there download the software and load it in your computer. The advantages of shooting RAW is that you can recover a lot of highlights and shadows, which is difficult (if not impossible) in jpeg. Once you are satisfied with the RAW image, convert it to jpeg from View NX itself.As you shoot and process the images, you can come back here and clarify your doubts and seek further guidance.</blockquote>
