Terri - thank you!

Mike - thank you - thank you. Do not apologize at all - as slowly and dumbed-down as you can explain it is how I need it! I know all this is in the guide, but it doesnt explain what ISO, etc,, actually IS - so this is priceless in helping me to understand.

Now - I found no T next to the viewfinder or anywhere - either I am blind or its different here. But - you said it wasnt the best way - so I'll just ignore that part (except now I understand what you mean! Praise the camera gods!). I am going to experiment with the ISO today for sure.

There are still many buttons here I dont get. For example - whats the AV +/- ?

Or - what are the buttons that show a + - with a little magnifying glass around it? I am thinking those might be when seeing the photo - to zoom in and see how clear it is?

The histograms(?) that I have seen Marvin talking about - not sure where/how that is on this camera either. My Menu, Info and Jump buttons have never been used. Ive pushed them all, but not for any good reason.

And what about the little button beside the display that is a light bulb?

On the actual dial for the settings at the top - Ive used the auto landscape one and the other auto settings. For portrait work Ive used the manual P setting - but the others: TV, AV, M and A-DEP - I have no clue.

These questions should keep anyone busy who is interested in answering them!

Thank you again!
Kim
