I just got a new camera as my old one died...:frown:
I got a Fuji Finepix S1500 because it looked like the best deal of what was available.
So far I've found that it isn't as forgiving as my old one in just basic mode and I think I need to try and understand some of the details and functions better if it's not going to be a waste.
I honestly get pretty confused with all the terminology and I'm wondering if there is a sequence of learning I could follow to help me get through it?
At the moment I feel as if I need to already know it all before I can understand the next function:redface:
The manual tells you how to operate it as if you already know the jargon.
I took the pic below after about 600000 tries but it's not as good as I'm sure the camera is capable of.
I probably need to take most of my pics indoors under flourescent lights.
I do have a tent and halogen lights but never needed it with the old camera. I'd prefer not to use them if pos.
Please tell me where to start so I can conquer this beast!!!:biggrin:
Thanks in advance
oh yeah, the background card is grey, but slightly darker than it appears in the pic
