Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm a newbie and trying to set my aperture, iso, and shutter all through the viewfinder while manipulating my fingers over the controls! So, it looks like I need to learn to keep the shutter depressed half way till I have all my settings done. I'll need to use my middle finger to keep the shutter depressed halfway (I've just been depressing and releasing with my index finger.). Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's my suggestion.
Determine what aperture you wish to accomplish for DOF. Push the quick button and move over the F-Stop highlight and move the front wheel and adjust.
Determine your ISO and use the quick button to move over until highlighted and adjust using the front wheel.
Finally make your adjustment for the appropriate Shutter speed by using the quick dial and use the front wheel.
You may have to fine tune your exposure by increasing your shutter speed to account for motion blur and adjust ISO.
I just find it's much easier using the viewfinder for shutter speed only as a final adjustment. Set your other two adjustments with the LCD first. You can do this all through the viewfinder, but it will take some time to learn.
