Quick Nikon Digital Question.

[Banshee Ben]

I have a Nikon 4600 and am a noob. I hear alot about

"I set the camera to f 2.8 (as low as it will go) and a shutter speed of 1/60,"

The instructions with the camera suck and I see no setting to change these options. The only option I see is exposure time showing as +2 to -2. Where are these settings?

I don't think your camera allows you to use manual controls. Looks to me like it doesn't allow many controls at all. Here is what I found for the specs.

If you really want to get the best from your photos, it's time to ebay it and get a camera with manual capabilities.

The following link might help. Imaging-resource.com publishes reviews of digital cameras. These reviews are so thorough they can substitute for the camera manual.

Of special interest to you might be the assist modes, for portrait, landscape or sports. Scroll down about halfway to the camera modes and menus section.
