I have a new Nikon D80 Digital SLR camera. Any good resources to learn how to use it?
I have had a 35 mm SLR Nikon forever but the digital is a little overwhelming!
The fastest and least frustrating way is to take a class in photography using your 35 mm SLR.
The cool thing about DSLR’s is you can directly transfer you skills using a 35 mm SLR to the new digital SLR. The convenience of not having to change film to use a different ISO or colour balance is perhaps the most helpful of all the features of an digital camera
As far as learning to use the added features found on DSLR’s, just use your users manual and try one at a time until you fully understand how it works and when to use it.
Look on page 84 of your manual … this can be a fun tool when you mount your camera on a tripod and shoot multiple exposure on the same frame
On thing you may find convenient is to download the users manual to your computer and then use the Adobe Acrobat “find” feature to search for specific features in the manual
