Suggestion--keep your camera manual in the bathroom
When you get your new camera, what is more exciting: play with the new
camera or read the manual? I don't think any normal person would say the latter. Besides, those inscrutable volumes are impossible to understand unless you have some experience with the camera. After working with the gear for a while, the manual tends to be forgotten and gets misplaced. But of course there is a lot of important info in those manuals and we would all profit from reading them. How to do it? Keep the manual in the bathroom and read random pages while relaxing on the can. After a few weeks you will have uncovered amazing gems that make it easier to work the camera and will help you in your photography. Who would have thought that you could override the Rebel XT's annoying insistence of balancing flash with ambient exposure when on aperture priority? You take a flash closeup of something interesting in murky darkness having set the aperture to f:16 to gain DOF and walk away... then 30 seconds later the camera emits a click. That's the shutter closing! My camera does this no longer, thanks to my bathroom sessions with the manual. Today's DSLRs are plenty complicated, so spend some time with the manual when you have the time to spare. KS |

Should you practice extending your zoom at the same time?

I also download the manuals from the manufacturer's site and put in on my laptop so I don't have to hunt for it later. |

Today's DSLRs are plenty complicated, so spend some time with the manual when you have the time to spare. KS I just returned from a New Year's Cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Brought along my 2 year old Panasonic FZ15 manual to read while relaxing in the deck chairs. It was one of the few times I could totally immerse myself in the manual without interruption for several hours at a stretch I discovered quite a few neat features that I did not know about. I also brought along the manuals for my Scanner and Printer. It is amazing what one can learn if one will only RTMF. So many manuals.....so little time. Bob Williams |
