I had started with Lubitel 2as everyone? damn, I feel old, my first camera didn't have any automatism. it was a Zenit 12, it has more things in common with a tank than with a modern camera
How you learn with a camera without auto mode ?I won't recommend my other "me" to start with the auto mode. I would explain myself the basics of exposure, ISO, shutter speed and aperture and give myself examples what effect each parameter has on a picture. I mean it's no sorcery but it needs some practice, patient and effort.
But it depends if you've someone by your side or if you've to learn it all alone. In the latter situation I would try to start with the auto mode (which I've done years ago).
I would really love to explain someone the basics of photography if I would notice that he or she really wants to learn it.
What lens have you received @Suze26 ?Hi there Jack I have just joined the group and like yourself I am a novice but looking forward to learn more exciting things to come. Have been taking pics on manual mode, however, I received my macro lens last weekend and need to understand the settings I guess for this. I have taken a few pics on auto mode.Oh yes, I have started on auto mode as well, I believe as everyone. Then I tried to learn the basis of these 3 pillars in photography, ISO, shutter speed and aperture. I've learnt that they all connected to each other and if you adjust one of them, you have to check rest of them.

Kzurro....OMG, I remember those times so well. I was horrible at documenting my settings and circumstances. Especially when manipulating the photos in the darkroom. ;-) They do actually have some courses in colleges that use completely manual cameras to get the students to understand apertures, shutter speeds, and all of that stuff the cameras do automatically these days with the digital.I won't recommend my other "me" to start with the auto mode.

When I first bough the camera I use to take pictures all the time in auto mode, then I started to get into it more serious and did some researches on YouTube , Google, I've learnt about ISO, Aperture and shutter speed. After that, I use to check the photo which have been taken in auto mode and tried to achieve same results in manual modeI won't recommend my other "me" to start with the auto mode.
