[QUOTE="nickt, post: 660103, member: 4923"] Read up on the exposure triangle. It will help a lot. Here are some links: [URL]https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/camera-exposure.htm[/URL] [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8T94sdiNjc[/URL] Metering mode is very important. Spot mode can wildly change your exposure results depending where the spot falls. A wider metering area is a better choice for starting out. P mode is very automatic with the ability to shift the program. That is what the * means, you turned the command wheel to shift the program. Exposure is a balance of shutter, aperture and iso.
