Hi all,
I'm back on the site again after some time away...we had our first baby! Now I'm trying to get back into my photography and am finding that I'm struggling a bit. I have made the decision to leave the dial on "M" and keep snapping away until I get it right. However, I'm confusing myself in regards to depth of field I think. Ugh! Anyway, so I thought I would get myself back on here to see if could find the answers I need.

its so true about AV mode! My daughter has an album of Iphone photos for the first 18 months of her life that are blurry/not good quality, and since I learned to use my camera a little - the sudden difference in pictures is amazing, lol. Keep camera handy and take photos of bubby perhaps?

Thanks all! I have had my camera out and handy to take pics of the little one. May I ask though, what is Av mode? I have Nikon which doesn't have Av mode. I'm assuming there would be an equivalent setting but I just don't know what that is :) [Edited] - Ok. So I decided to use my head a little and google assisted with my "Av mode" question. :) My equivalent is "A" and I think after a few quick experimental photos on that setting just now, I will leave it there for a while :) Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Aperture Priority mode. You set the aperture (by selecting an f-stop) and the camera adjusts shutter speed to effect a good exposure. Next Q: Tv mode is Shutter Priority...
Have a look at the NTP Book... http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showlibrary.php?title=Indexes:New_To_Photography_Book
Welcome back Gecko Girl.
Aperture Priority mode is good. Now to decide if you are going to choose your ISO setting, or put camera on auto ISO for that.:D
