So i'm getting ready to become a first time owner of a dslr (7100). Having only experience with manual cameras in years past (except a short relationship with an n90), i figured it would be good to start learning ahead of my purchase,,,so i downloaded an owners manual. Wow, is the word to describe it!
There is over 300 pages of information on this camera!!
This leads me to ask those of you who are "fluent" in dslrs; how many of the features of your camera do you use?
I can see where just using manual with auto iso (with limit(s)), occasional bracketing, use of the metering modes for different conditions, and white balance would be mostly what i would benefit from....at least for now. It just seems like an overwhelming amount of things available to be comfortable with and still keep a good perspective for taking a photo.
Like to hear some feedback on what you use the most on you camera.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
