I’m going to assume this camera has a manual mode and auto mode like most digitals today do.
First things first is learn anything you can about shooting in manual mode. Your shots with be 100x better if you know how to change the shutter speed, ISO, and aperture yourself. So the first thing you have to know is what all those terms mean -
Putting a camera on auto is all well and good but it isn’t designed to give you the shot
you want. Auto is designed to get a shot that doesn’t suck. And you want to be more than just a photographer who doesn’t suck.
So, manual mode forces you to think. Want a close up shot of a beautiful flower on a sunny day? Then you’ll probably want a wide aperture. But wait, a wide aperture makes the photo brighter, because it lets more light into the sensor. So you need a slower shutter speed.
Shooting at night? Since it’s dark out, I’ll need to turn up the ISO so the light sensitivity increases - too high of an ISO will look grainy and bad. So let me lower my shutter speed... but if the shutter speed is too low, the picture will be blurry, because surprise surprise, it is actually incredibly hard to hold your hand still for 1/16th or 1/8th of a second. So do I need a tripod for this shot? If I use a tripod, I could use a 1 or 2 or 3 second shutter, and a low ISO so my picture is sharp and clear. A-ha!
See what I mean? Manual and auto allow for a completely different mindset. With auto, you take the shot. With manual, you
make the shot. And that will increase your ability as a photographer faster than you can imagine.
@Corso does this camera have interchangeable lenses?
