I'm starting to think I should have just stuck to my Elph PowerShot 110 HS.
I recently bought a Nikon D3200 camera, and I have several lenses - the kit lens that came with it (18mm - 55mm I believe it is) the Sigma Zoom/macro lens that came with it, and a fixed Nikon 50mm, as well as a Nikon 55mm - 300mm zoom lens.
This camera takes gorgeous pictures in auto mode. I have tried venturing into A mode, with varying success.
I've read and read several books on the D3200 specifically, and on DSLR photography in general, and I thought I had an understanding of how aperature, ISO settings, white balance and exposure times work together. Ha.
I went out shooting today in my back yard. The photos I took on auto setting were beautiful, perfect. The ones on manual setting were either orange, stark white or jet black. I am so frustrated I am ready to chuck the whole thing and go back to my Elph! I had hoped to shoot a minor-league baseball game I'm attending September 6th, but I'm starting to think I'd be just as well off taking my Elph, rather than lugging this camera and the various lenses and filters with me.
Any help or encouragement would be SO appreciated!
