Thank you in advance for reading this and answering any questions.
I just bought a Leica Dlux 4 for my own xmas present. It is my first camera that has more than an auto mode.
I am using the camera for street photography and to take candid shots of the family and friends.
I am planning on shooting in aperture priority mode as my first learning step and I have a few questions.
1. Is learning on the aperture mode a good first step?
2. I read the manual and some books and understand the idea behind aperture. I also found out how to change the aperture settings and change what part of the screen I can focus on. How do I know which aperture is correct before I take the shot? Is it all thru experience or is there a way to check it?
3. Is there anything else that I NEED to learn asap before I start taking pictures - like ISO, white balance, etc?
Thank you,
J
