I would just like to read other's comments who may have the same type of camera just to get started. The manual is hard for me to understand right now.</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:03:53 GMT RoseETucker 2013-06-11T17:03:53Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Discussion/I-would-like-some-advice-on-how-to-use-my-brand-new-Canon-A3400/m-p/28267#M19868 <P>I just bought a Canon P&amp;S A3400 IS camera and would like some general advice on how to get started.

Please note I originally wrote it for my daughter when I gave her my 20D &amp; some of the info is camera specific.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A target="_blank" href="http://forums.usa.canon.com/t5/PowerShot/SX280HS-do-auto-settings-give-best-results-w-o-adjusting/m-p/26443#U26443">http://forums.usa.canon.com/t5/PowerShot/SX280HS-do-auto-settings-give-best-results-w-o-adjusting/m-p/26443#U26443</A></P> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:23:19 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Discussion/I-would-like-some-advice-on-how-to-use-my-brand-new-Canon-A3400/m-p/28293#M19869 cicopo 2013-06-11T17:23:19Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Discussion/I-would-like-some-advice-on-how-to-use-my-brand-new-Canon-A3400/m-p/28383#M19870 Thank you, this will give me a lot to read, try out and understand for starting. I appreciate and believe your slogan, "A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought." Practice and passion, which I have.
