<p>[QUOTE="toned_morgan, post: 4987525, member: 97258"]What Sensible Sal uses it the basic way. Your camera is much more advanced than that and it seems to be a pretty capable camera. I have the Nikon D3500, so Canon should also be good. EF-s is the lens mount type (Canon cameras are EF mounts) and 18-55mm is the focal length, or the zoom. Go straight to 55 to avoid distortion from the wide angle of the 18mm. Also make sure you have good lighting, which doesn't mean an iPhone flashlight or your moody bedroom lights. It means good bright white office lights or even bright kitchen lights. If you manage to navigate the settings, go to full auto mode but on the "white balance", select the type of light you have. Bright office lights would be LED and sunny daylight would be daylight setting. Usually the camera does it auto and doesn't do too bad on it. Once you have your pictures, download them to your computer and edit them with iPhotos or something simple. And that's it! As you experiment more and learn more about photos in general, you will get better and better. I would definitely suggest exploring your camera for a good hour and going through settings and seeing what certain settings do to your image. Then you might also want to take it out while you walk or something, again to get more experience and to get used to how your camera works and most imprtantly what settings affect what. Hope this helped![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
