Complete photography newb. Anonymous
Hey guys, I just got a new camera for my birthday, and I'm a complete noob with this whole photography thing. Anyone got any good tutorials that cover the complete basics of using a digital camera? Like aperture/shutterspeed.. I mean I know what each of them are, I just have no idea what to begin setting them to. Whenever I try messing with them things either come out over or underexposed, so I just use auto.

Anyway, here's a few random pics I've taken so far. Sorry for the poor quality, these are from facebook because I don't have access to the actual files ATM. (at home, away from main pc)

Also, this is the camera I've got. I know it's not a DSLR but how good is it? Don't hold any punches if there's flaws, I'd rather know them. Or anyone got any hints?

Yeah, but I got rechargables and it can get a good few hundred shots per set at maximum res. Obviously I'd prefer a dedicated battery with internal charger..
