For me the easiest method to understanding my gear was to simply try everything. Try and adjust every setting and don't be afraid to push the gear to the max. That way you learn fastest what works, what doesn't and what you like. I'm still learning each day.I checked and read some online and while there's plenty of good advice, in the end you're doing what others do without experiencing the wrongs. Often bad pictures are more "illuminating" than good ones.Of course if you're completely unfamiliar with photography, it doesn't hurt to learn the basics first.</blockquote>
