Those are nice shots, what part of the camera are you unfamiler with?


The whole camera...I just took the camera out of the box and never read the manuel...just put it on automatic and went out to point & shoot. lol
Bring your photography to the next level and read the manual, find out what the differnt settings are for...shutter speed, apeture, iso. You'll be surprised what you can do. Buy a book on exposure. Don't go through life taking pics on "auto" mode.

I take photo's explicitly on manual with my Canon DSLR...just wanted to try this camera right away...so tried it on auto. Will read the manual when I get it loaded on my computer and have more time. Unfortunately, most of us women prefer to learn through trial and error as opposed to reading the manual. lol

I got news for you...so do men.

Oh that's too funny...and all these years I thought men faithfully read all their manuals...for cars cameras and whatever ;)

What is a "manual"? Hopefully you don't mean a book to read!! I just file those for times when I have trouble, never have completely read one, and NEVER before using the product!!

Great shots Carolina Wings! You may have had the camera on Auto, but you had to compose the pictures and you did a marvelous job. Thanks for posting these!

Carolina Wings, I hope you never get familiar with that camera. If you do, we will all be in trouble.

Wings, very good job straight out of the box. What is the minimum focusing distance on this camera? I like to do macro, but don't have a macro lens. I use my P&S for that at the moment. Thanks for your reply.

Looks Great to me! :thumbup: Can't wait to see what you do when you feel that you figured out how to use the SX 40.

Minimum focus is actually 0 cm, but only at the wide angle setting. True Macro requires a close up lens like the Raynox 150 or something similar.

Haved owned this camera for a few weeks, and really enjoy it, gave all of my dslr epuip to my son. Go to shortcourses.com. they have a downloadable book for 20 bucks, better than the manual, By the way great photo's
