just take some time and learn where everything is. the more familiar you are with it the easier it will be to adjust things.

I actually did shoot these in manual, just winging it lol!

I slept with mine last night. Really.

I was laying in bed. Reading the manual and going through the camera at the same time.

I have the same camera and have found it awesome as a first dslr! The "?" button along with the manual helped me A LOT during my first few weeks with it, and I find it really easy to change settings quickly now. It's probably time for mr to read my manual again now since I've had the camera almost a year, and have a bit of a clue how to use it lol. Enjoy!

Yes I just read through the manual again. It doesn't seem as hard. At the moment it seems more like a lot of info to fit in rather then being super complicated. Can't wait until my first day of really shooting with it.

BTW, the first shots aren't bad.

Thank you!
