Just set your light meter where you want it, and set your light source to match your environment (sun, shade, tungsten, etc.) and you're good to go! I keep my ISO on auto for most snapshots so I don't have to think about that. You're gonna have so much fun with that camera!!small town in the cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897782664589520246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-7283623514448111762011-05-18T08:45:55.175-07:002011-05-18T08:45:55.175-07:00ohhhhh, how exciting!

You control the depth of field by changing the aperture or âfâ settings. On my camera, to change just that and leave shutter speeds up to the camera, I set it to AV mode. <br /><br />This setting works a little backwards. If you have a small f stop, say f/1.4, the lens will have a larger opening for light, which means more light and a faster shutter speed. This will give you a shallow depth of field. In simple terms; it gets fuzzy really fast. The reverse is also true, if you have a bigger f stop, say f/22, the lens will have a very small opening for light; which means a slow shutter speed and less light is allowed in to expose the photo. This will give you a broader depth of field which means the photo stays sharper or in focus farther into the background. <br /><br />Please feel free to contact me if you want more information. I'm not an expert by any means. I just enjoy taking good photos.<br /><br />Good luck and remember, it's the person, not the camera that makes the photo great!
