[QUOTE="hark, post: 661104, member: 13196"] I feel for you...I really do. I came to digital with a background in 35mm film. BUT I remember how daunting it was when I got ready to sit down and read the manual to learn the digital stuff. Once I started to grasp which buttons, wheels, bells, and whistles, I needed, it wasn't so bad. I can't fathom trying to grasp learning all the photography basics as well as all of the settings at once. So what mode are you using currently? Full auto? Or have you dipped your toe into the waters of Aperture Priority? Don't worry so much about the metering modes just yet. My suggestion is to stick with Matrix Metering for starters. Instead, allow yourself to become familiar with the basics between the relationship of Aperture, Shutter, and ISO. Those 3 control your exposure. That's the foundation to build upon first. Otherwise you might overload your brain, Paul! :) [/QUOTE]
