So basically, this camera Matt got me isn't the most user friendly device ever, but I figure... everyone has to start somewhere, right?
Still flipping through the instruction manual, which is rough for me because I am a total visual learner.. but I finally figured out how to take video on it. That's 1 step.
Now I just need to figure out how to take better pictures (so far, I'm living off of automatic focus, not too keen on manual quite yet.) Still working on what lighting is best on what modes.. and what all these abbreviations mean, and what they're for. Not to mention still learning how to handle it appropriately without breaking it (thanks Rachel).
This reminds of when I started that oil painting class at Sierra College. I had always used acrylic and water based paints, and I figured hey, oil painting can't be that hard. yea... whole different world, way more complicated and expensive too. I finally did get the hang of it, but it took a lot of practice.
to me, point and shoot cameras=acrylic painting, and dslr camera=oil painting.
