Hi all,

I'm very new to the forum and new to my Christmas present a Nikon D3100 camera, I'm so happy as I have wanted a really good camera for a long time.

I haven't got a clue how to use it so any tips would be much appreciated. I'm working through the instruction manual as I type this thread.

Happy Christmas to you all, have a great day. :)

Now .... Where was I... Oh yes back to my camera. :rolleyes:

Merry Christmas. My biggest tip is learn all about exposure. Get a good book or find some websites.

Here are some links I post often:
Learning about Exposure - The Exposure Triangle - Digital Photography School

Exposure | Understanding Exposure - ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed Explained

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, & Light Explained-Understanding Exposure & Camera Settings - YouTube

A good book... Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.


If you learn theses photography basics, the user manual will make way more sense. Get that down and you will have more fun. Then the next hurdle is learn how your auto focus works. Get an understanding of how each focus mode behaves and always know exactly where and how your camera focuses. Then ask questions here, but do your homework and you will have a fun time with it all.
