[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 110768, member: 10784"] Ok, I am fairly new but can help some... Easy first - The flash.. it does not pop up when you turn it on. If you are in Full Auto, if there is not enough light, it will pop up when you depress the shutter... It also sets Auto ISO In program.. you can adjust the ISO as you can in in A and S. You can go in through the menu and select Shooting Mode then ISO sensitivity or you can go in through the I(Info) button. I suggest that and you can adjust at will... How high can you go?? That depends on you, your photo itself, if you are cropping and your "tolerance for some noise. If you are not cropping at all, I have gone to 3200 on multiple occasions .. if you are cropping (my opinion only) I try not to go over 1250 if I can help it.. I personally shoot in A normally gives a lot more control. I will work my aperture large (depending on Depth of field). I can set the ISO for the conditions , say 1600 and then check my shutter... if it is too low, I have the open to increase ISO or open up shutter... If Speed if up over 150 or so, then I can reverse and decrease ISO or close down shutter some or both. I can handhold ok at 1/30 but do much better if 1/60 or above. You have to determine what speed you can hold it at .. and the focal length of the lens will affect that. (55mm is easier to holde steady than 200mm) I hope that can get you started... In addition to reading your manual on these settings, Googel Exposure Triangle which will help explain the relations of all settings... Good luck and welcome!
