[QUOTE="nickt, post: 674112, member: 4923"] Here is a plan to learn manual: 1) Don't use live view 2) Turn auto iso OFF 3) Watch this: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8T94sdiNjc[/URL] 4) Read this: [url=http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/camera-exposure.htm]Camera Exposure: Aperture, ISO & Shutter Speed[/url] Not that live view is bad, it is just going to confuse you while you learn. Same with auto iso, it is a great feature. I especially like it when using manual mode, but it will confuse you as you learn. You should be able to see your exposure meter in the viewfinder when in manual mode. Take a look at it and start to watch it as you change manual settings. It should not be bottomed out at one side or the other. It should be at the center or at least somewhere on the scale depending on the effect you are going for. [/QUOTE]
