Yeah that's right. I've been wanting to get into photography for a while and I saved up for it. So far I've only mastered the basics and I mean basics lol. It was an investment for personal use and for when I travel.Quote:

Let me give you a short rundown of the main options, this will help you out quite a bit.Quote:

So it comes down to 3 factors, ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed. Most of the time you want to make a picture as fast as possible, to avoid a blur and all that, yet you still want the best possible picture, so somewhere you need to give something up to make the picture faster.
ISO: ISO basicly controls the amount of noise in the picture, whereas with 100 you get the cleanest picture, higher amounts will get you a lot of noise, now usually the highest setting a camera has is awful, so want to use the second last, using only the last in extreme cases. In the case of the 3100 that's 1600. You will gain a lot of speed at 1600, but like I said, noise will increase. Still it's often a preferred option imo with low light situations like at home in the evening etc.
Aperture: You know how your lens says like 3.5-5.6 on the side, that's the aperture, meaning that the lowest your lens can go is 3.5 at 18mm (lowest length of your lens) and 5.6 at 55 (max length of your lens). What aperture is is basicly how much light it allows in, there is a iris in your lens at that number tells you how far it can be open, so the further it's open, the more that comes in. Now those apertures are quite standard with regular lenses, it's the much and much more expensive lenses that can lower with similar zoom. There are other options though, called prime lenses, like the one I posted, that one can go to F1.8, however like I said, it's a prime lens, meaning it has no zoom, it has a fixed focal length, in this case 35mm (roughly 2x zoom).
Now it might seem that low is always good, but it's not. The lower you go (and thus the more light it lets in), the lesser that the amount that is sharp. So say you focus on a plant 2 meters away, while that glass next to it will still be sharp, the object 50cm away from it (in depth ofcourse) will be quite blurry. So basicly the part that's in focus (aka the hyperfocal) will get smaller when you go lower. This can ofcourse also be a good thing is you want to make the back/foreground very blurry.
In the end it depends if you can give up focus for speed, because if that makes half the stuff you want to photograph blurry then it's still no go.
And then we got shutter speed, the easiest of the 3, shutter speed simply means how long it takes to take the picture, aka how long the shutter is open. The longer it's open, the more light it can take in, obviously the longer it takes, the more camera shake you get, not to mention that moving objects/people will look crap because you will get very blurry objects/people.
In general you won't do much with this one, the camera can decide what speed is required, later on when you want to set it up all manually then you will do something with it, or when you want to use long speeds for on a tripod, this can be good for night pictures and when you want certain effects, long shutter speeds at night will allow you to take 'light' pictures of a city whereas normally you would just get black. For effects you can take a long picture from for example a car, while they drive by your camera will register the light from the head/taillights, because it's so bright all of it will be captured, so you will get a trail of light because of it. The same thing with fireworks, you will get trails of the fireworks shooting in the sky and then falling down again.
Again, a tripod is a absolutely requirement of this, I made pictures of the fireworks a few weeks ago and I was using shutter speeds of about 15-20 secs, no one can hold a camera stable for that long. ;)
My advice for a beginner would be to use the P mode and change the ISO to what you need, so 1600 if it's dark, 100 if it's really bright outside, the camera will do the rest. This is not to say you should always take pictures this way, but it beats the automatic function while still getting a lot of quality out of it, this is mostly because the automatic mode registers the surrounding and decides what's best, however it's better to try it out yourself to make sure you don't loose quality or speed because the camera didn't register it properly. Not to mention that it keeps popping up the flash when it gets a bit dark, which gives quite unnatural looking pictures, not to mention that the range is extremely limited of the pop up flash.
a new zaman cpu cooler xD.
Thank you very much for this. I'm going to save this and print it off. You've helped me understand the camera more.Quote:
