Welcome aboard Lym. All the info is in those manuals but some times they are hard to understand. There are a lot of books out there that explain things in a more understandable way. You can get most of your questions ansered right here on the Hog.

Hi
So, does anyone know of any website in which not only camera nomenclature is explained but also the effect of using the various ways/modes of taking a picture manually - so that I can become a "real" photographer?

Welcome! I, too, finally took the plunge & bought a Canon DSLR about 6 months ago. UH is one of the best photography blogs I've seen. My best advice is to keep reading blogs such as Ugly Hedgehog (yes, some hedgehogs are cute) and just play with your camera, take notes &, most importantly, have fun! The beauty about digital is that you can delete the shot if you don't like it. Enjoy!!

Lym,
First off, Until you get enough knowledge, turn your camera on The (Green A) setting and let the camera set ALL of the settings for you including the focus. Once you have exposed yourself to enough knowledge to know Who,What,When, then you can begin to move the Selection Knob to Manuel, and return to The A green button to see how you did with your selections in Manuel. In the mean time study study study,,,,then shoot shoot shoot,,,enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!!!! Good luck on your adventure

Lym from KL : Welcome to UHH. You have many good responses; here is another possibility : a 2013 newly released Spring 2013 8 1/2 X 11 inch 162 page soft cover book entitled "The Ultimate Beginner's
Guide to Digital Photography -- Professional techniques for taking
better photographs", published in England and Australia (and elsewhere) by Black Dog Media (BDM) volume 6 - ISSN - 2047-2250,
0 74470 89035 5. It is well put together and covers everything as you switch to digital. Very detailed,informative, and loaded with pictoral
examples on every page. $17.99 in Australia and $19.95 in the UK, Canada, and U.S. An excellent digital summary starting point. I began serious photography in 1952, and found it helpful to put digital into logical context to my past experience shooting film in 30 countries with
Leicas, Rollieflex, Contax, Linhof, Nikon, and, finally, with Canon, and a plethora of fine lenses. Hope you can find it; am sure you will enjoy and profit from it !

Thanks raysass. I am reading the manual (page by page in sequence) that came with the camera, but I will now jump to those topics you have kindly suggested.
Many of us suggest, Brian Petersons "understanding exposure" (plus he has others that are excellent). It is a fast read (30 minutes or so), plus he gives exact settings for certain types of pictures. It is wonderfully written and extremely easy to understand.
