Just start in auto, then move onto auto without flash (the auto that has the little lightening bolt through it) then move onto "A" in the settings and you can play with White balance and ISO SOOOO much fun!

I am enjoying your sense of style and decorating! Those Christmas trees are fantastic!! I was wondering how you decorate your home for January. It's one of those months...in between holidays. I am going for a white, snowy theme..snowflakes, paper and crocheted garland, white candles, white tipped pine cones...things like that. I am curious to see how you will decorate for January...I am needing some good ideas!!

I own the same camera, and the only recommendation I have is to make your self use it in manual mode, it's the only way you will ever learn it, oh yeah, keep the manual near by as well. I have found great books online about this camera, with a lot of tips on how to use it. Good luck, you will love it!Kristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287268704123898263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377842028275409340.post-9192687593733264452012-12-27T10:04:36.741-05:002012-12-27T10:04:36.741-05:00I got this camera last year.

I've tried learning a few things but when I don't use it I don't retain it. Which is why the Mr. also bought me a guide book for the Nikon D3100. The book recently helped me a lot to adjust some settings I had previously set that were no longer working for me. I think bit by bit it is slowing coming together. Taking an online course sounds like a good idea too. Enjoy your new camera, you will love it!

Sadly though, I haven't taken it out of auto yet, except to turn off the flash. The only tip that I have for you is what everyone has told me - purchase and take the Shoot Fly Shoot online course from The Lettered Cottage. I just recently bought it, but haven't taken it yet. :)Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055804703196090415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377842028275409340.post-83518908387142760482012-12-27T00:30:08.024-05:002012-12-27T00:30:08.024-05:00Awesome gift!
