[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 159516, member: 8330"] Welcome to the forum. I'm sure others will chime in with great advice. U1 and U2 are "placeholders" for custom settings that a photographer would use from time to time and doesn't want to bother with setting it up each time. If you're new and don't have custom settings in mind then I would suggest shooting in P mode or maybe even Auto. Work your way up to some of the other modes. ISO is one part of the equation for capturing a properly exposed image. ISO handles the sensor's sensitivity to light. The lower number ISO (i.e. 100) the less sensitive the sensor will be. This yields a higher quality image but requires more exposure time. The higher number ISO (i.e. 6400) produces an image that is grainier and not as sharp, but because it is very sensitive to light it allows for faster shutter speeds and smaller apertures. Learning how this affects your image along with shutter and aperture can produce some stunning images. The manual is actually a great resource for learning about your camera and photography in general. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
