Now there is a great idea!
Actually, I feel like I have made quite a bit of progress with my practicing and reading. I do not feel overwhelmed any longer. I have played with changing the IOS enough to do that pretty quickly. I am figuring out how to navigate the Menu & functions. I just still know which functions work best together and in which modes.
Here is a specific question: My kitchen is my bird blind. I take pictures through my kitchen window looking out into my sunlit garden where the birds are usually perched and relatively still. When I put it on Auto, the ISO jumps to 800. If I use other modes and set the ISO myself, it also needs to go to 800 or the bird comes out dark even though it is sitting in bright sunlight. Or sometimes, the bird is in the shade under the eave of the patio and it still needs to be at 800. Is there some other way to do this? If I were to step out into the sun, the birds would fly away. If it helps, these birds are not more than 20' away from where I am standing in my kitchen.
Thank you for your help so far.
