    Yes Steve, just stick with Auto mode for a while until you have digested all the technical features, it will all come together in time. I suppose it's like learning to drive really, just one step at a time and you'll get there in the end!

    Nothing worse than an electrical item that's complicated to use.

    The software DVD Nikon supplies for your pc is not exactly user friendly also
    In the early days i use to upload pics and then i could never find them
    RAW or JPEG time to decide .........

    Stick it on a tripod outside. Point it at the stars, and set the exposure for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 seconds for 6 shots. Make sure the focus is infinity.

    This teaches you the exposure part, and if you are lucky you'll get some nice shots of the stars. Then test it for 1,2,5,10,30 minutes

    Is it a DSLR? Just put it on manual focus and frame your shots correctly. That's half the battle.
