when I got my new camera, I had decided what to get before I bought it. I bought a battery and charged it. Then I bought the camera from a local dealer. He said he would throw in lessons. I opened the box and threw the packing away: the paper wrapped around it, bubble sheets and, oh yes, the manual; into the circular file with it. He gave me lessons an a couple of books. Lesson on this purchase buy from a local dealer.

I spent all my money on my new camera so I can't afford to buy a lens yet. Will I need one to shoot wedding photos?

I have a business license, I don't advertise on Craigslist, and have no interest in doing weddings for a fee. Other than that....

Learn how to operate the various modes and how to change exposure settings, then experiment with them all . . .

Sit down with your new camera and read the instruction booklet. Then take your new camera for a walk and try different scenes and settings. Learn the camera, then you can use it's features.

After reading the manual I go to You tube and video tips and tricks, and set ups. My favorite is Gary Fong videos.

I don't know why I buy updated technology! After checking the ISO - which I do - I frequently turn off all of the automated gizmos. I shoot most of my stuff on manual settings.
