I am really fascinated about DSLR cameras. It's like I am
venturing into this entirely new complex field that I know
nothing about -- so complex that members here are recommending
books to read.
So, my question is, just how difficult is it to learn how
to use a DSLR?
When I put that camera into MANUAL mode I am going to
have to worry about ISO settings which I know nothing about.
Then there are dozens upon dozens of lenses available for the
cameras, but just looking at the numbers on them, I still don't
quite know their advantages over others.
Found a really good blurb here about the basics of DSLRs.
If I take the time to read a book or two (and hopefully it won't
be as long as War and Peace) should I be able to pick up on
using these cameras effectively? Is it really difficult to understand?
You would think this is the question I should have asked
first before even looking at cameras.
Thanks, guys, for all your help.
