Morning snappers,

I was given a DSLR Nikon D80 on the weekend as my dad got a new camera, having never used anything other than a Compact I'll be honest I have no idea what to do...

It has an AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm lens on it and a huge multitude of settings that means gibberish to me, I was playing around with it and used the manual focus which seemed to be ok, here is a test shot of what I was doing



If anyone could give me a couple of basic pointers as to which settings to use, mainly will be taking photos of the kids, dogs and just general holiday snaps.

Thanks I'm pretty happy with it although it took about 15 shots before he stood still.

I'll try find the book you mentioned and start reading. Thanks for the help.
