Re: [Help] New Toy

Just get to feeling the camera in your hands and to taking shots. Find things that interest you. Don't worry about if they interest anyone else. Just take pictures and see the results. My advice, also, is not to read the manual until after you've done a little shooting and start getting the feel of the unit. Then, as you shoot more, try out each adjustment you can and see what it does, bit by bit, reading the manual as you go along. Don't read too much at one time, but just that one thing that you're working on. Go onto something else after you're fairly comfortable with one setting. See what everything feels like, post back here, and I am sure everyone will be more than happy to help where they can. First, just jump in and start shooting as if you knew what you were doing!

Age is a very high price to pay for my maturity. If I can't stay young, I can at least stay immature!

Thanks All, went out and shot about

I want to learn how to set up my camera manually.
The Aperture and shutter speed flash etc.
I know that will come with time, will keep at it.
Thanks Doc

I've said this in other posts but am too lazy to dig them out currently... The Fuji's are nice cameras, but they are a LOT of camera for a beginner. Set the camera to "Program Auto", Auto ISO/White balance/Focus and just concentrate on getting sharp, clean shots. Composition and focus are more important to you at this time. Once you can create dynamite images, then it will be time for you to "take the pebble" and begin experimenting with aperture, shutter, speeds, etc.

For now, just take a note of which settings the camera is applying in which situations as these will be your starting point in the future.
