[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 91997, member: 16"] Here are a few??? Maxie, I counted a dozen shots posted! A dozen is not a few! 3 or 4 is a few! :) You say you're most interested in settings. Well....I suggest you read the manual that came with your camera. All the settings are in there. OK, now....on to what I believe you're doing wrong: You're trying to rush things. Photography has a learning curve to it, and it doesn't happen overnight, believe me! It takes patience, lots of reading, lots of trial and error, and TONS of practice. A lot of us in here have 20, 30, 40 years of experience...and we're STILL learning! Your camera has P, A, S, M. In order, that's Program, Aperture, Shutter and Manual. It also has Auto. You want to get away from Auto. I say stick to Auto....but look in your view finder at that the settings are telling you. If you have to, write down the settings for each picture you take. That will help you understand what the camera is selecting so you can apply those settings to the other PASM settings when the time comes. Most of us in here will tell you that they use Aperture Mode when shooting. Aperture Mode is used for subjects that are stationary....like a statue or a field of flowers or a portrait shot of someone. Shutter Mode is used for anything that has movement. It's all in your manual, Maxie. You just have to put the effort in and read it :) You could look up video tutorials on Google and You Tube, too, if that would help you visualize things better. :) [/QUOTE]
