Help with my new camera!

[hollisterluva92]

So...I just got an Olympus E-400 for christmas. Anyone have any experience with this camera? I've been trying to put together a little cheat sheet for myself to take to the parks so that I know what kind of exposure and shutter speeds and others to use. Thanks!

You do not need camera specific help, just general exposure help. Unfortunately, there are no specific settings for specific situations. What you need to do is learn what the meter in the camera is telling you and learn about the exposure. If you have time, I strongly suggest picking up "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. It is a great book for getting started with any camera's manual functions.
