And stick to AUTO, works a treat.
Terrible terrible advice Brian. It doesn't work a treat.
If you all you ever want to do is churn out crappy snapshots* then I suppose Auto will do but if you're going to do that you may as well just use your phone and save carrying something else around.
On Auto you are letting the camera make every important decision based on average metering. You get no choice at all in regard to the image composition, no depth of field, no chance to alter your focus or metering point. You won't get any drama into the image. It will try and get every thing in the frame perfectly exposed and in focus which never results in the image looking like anything other than a snapshot. If you're happy with that fine I guess but it isn't photography.
If this is how you take you pictures then you need to watch the tutorials as well and then learn how to use your camera properly. You will be amazed at the difference in your shots.
*To describe a picture as a "snapshot" is the worst possible insult you can ever give or receive from a photographer.
