I spent an hour at Cleveleys this afternoon trying out my camera. I took 120 pictures & I think a handful are any good.
Tried TV which controls the shutter speed but they all came out very under exposed so I have a lot to learn.
Trouble is I can't remember what specifications I had for the decent pictures as I kept swapping around.
I haven't found out how to alter the size of frame yet either, must read up some more!!
As you can see a lovely afternoon & I enjoyed my little walk .
Oh its all so complicated!! I have found if I set the ISO it sticks for the next setting which doesn't help!! also having the lens cap on doesn't help much either!! Its all trial and error, somewhere when you play back the shots it should tell you the settings you used...so I'm told!! Anyway this one turneed out just fine and you can view your exif!!!
@fannyb Well there is some very odd info on this site today. No proper Exif & tells me statistics & also some bizarre flashback to March 11th picture!!! All too much!!!! Thank you Fanny for your comments & I thought of you tonight, we have been drinking Chappel Down Bacchus with our steak! Delicious!
great shot - love the lighting in this and contrast - there is so much to learn when you first switch to DSLR - but worth sticking with...the exif info should be on your playback display on the camera to help you.
This one has worked anyway. The exif info is still attached to the shots. You can open them on your computer and look at it (usually by left clicking but it depends on your software)
This has taught me something I upload my photos on windows, do you? because if you click 'properties' it will tell you the exif...well I never!!! Thanks Sue Wilde|!!
We love Cleveleys-the perfect place for scootering along the prom to earn an ice cream! Well done for trying out your new camera. TV is my favourite setting, especially for shooting people.
Well this one is a beauty! It is tricky getting started - I need to do more Manual stuff - it's only by making mistakes that you learn how to do it really. It's worth playing back the shots on your camera as you go so you can see what's going on. I think if you put ISO on Auto then the camera should correct aperture for your for shutter speed priority so long as it's in a reasonable range. Sometimes I find I am miles out and have to move it to something it can cope with!
