You bought a capable camera, but instead of feeling confident behind it, you may find yourself guessing which settings to use. Auto Mode seems safe until it produces disappointing results. Autofocus locks onto the wrong subject. Indoor photographs look too yellow. Fast-moving subjects become blurry. Important moments are missed because of incorrect settings, a full memory card, or a drained battery.
