Bubbabyte Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I just purchased my new Canon A540 ( i know it's no RebelXT but it's decent) and i'm looking to learn about all the features in the camera and what they all mean. Is there a dummies guide to learning about white balance/exposure settings etc... so i will know how to properly use my camera in proper places and such... anything at all would be a great help.

Draconian Guppy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Not to sound rude or anything, but the first book you should read, is the manual! RTFM - Read The Fine Manual :) Then www.megapixel.net has some good free articles for begginers, also we have a sticky post that has lots of resources...

Syxxpacc Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 basically the only way to learn ur camera properly is to just use it a lot :p iusing different settings and going to different places where the lighting varies :) so you would just test it in different settings and voila :) u know more about your camera that u ever thought of :) and ofcourse just read the manual at least one time :p canon makes good manuals so you wont be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkishdelight Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 f/11 and be th-- But seriously, Syxxpacc was right in that you should use your camera a lot; you'll get used to its idiosyncracies in time. Once you've done that, you can get to the artistic, creative part of photography. Plenty of resources are available online. DPS is a good place to start.
