Hi people,
Well I JUST got my D3200, and yes I know I should RTFM, and will eventually, but couldn't help but wanting to play a little first.
I have been doing photography in one form or another since age 12 and am now 63. Things are getting pretty high tech for me, with this camera.
But I really have never much liked flash photography and have always preferred natural light. So without RTFM much, I set it all up, formatted the 32GB memory card, charged the battery, and set the big dial to the "No flash" setting, to try a spontaneous shot of my little pet cockatiel. He's kinda shy, so I didn't want to freak him out anymore than seeing this big black camera in front of him does.
But when I pushed the button to focus and take the shot, what happens but that a light of some kind comes on in his face. Huh? Then it does all this beeping ( don't want that either! ) and finally takes the shot.
What the heck is all that, and do I have to study the camera in detail to figure this out and stop it?
I did find what appears to be an online tutorial at Nikon | Imaging Products | Digitutor | D3200 for when I get some time, but I'm pretty busy and it may be awhile.
