Hi everybody! I absolutely love this board, and I have taken sooo many notes...LOL!
I got this awesome camera...and I absolutely LOVE it, but have no clue what to do with it other than the standard settings that it came set on. We are making a trip in 2 weeks, and DH bought me a new 28-135 IS lens today, and I'm sure it can do amazing things, but I'm clueless. I've been reading posts and taking notes, and I found that to take fireworks pictures I need to have the ISO set low, and I see the ISO button on the camera, but can't figure out how to change it. (Note: Users manual got highly decorated by DD3 and a replacement in ordered, but it won't be here in time to prepare for my trip) Is is reasonable to switch ISO settings back and forth or should I stick with a specific setting? also, the f/4.5...no clue what thats about. In my handy dandy tip notebook that I've started, it says to take night pictures, I should be at 1/8s f/4.5 ISO 1000...can some very patient person help me to understand my camera? I know this is asking alot, but I've tried doing the research online and it is written far above my level of understanding.
Thanks!!!!
