Many of our friends are starting to buy the DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras now and have many questions about all the optional controls. Even some of the bigger point and shoots have manual settings. The key thing to remember is there are three settings that you can control to get the correct exposure on your pictures: Aperture (F-Stop), Shutter Speed, and ISO.
This is the best tutorial I have found online that explains the relationship of the three: http://www.pbase.com/otfchallenge/image/20708945
It's a simple "visual" way to learn the setting and will take you about 10 minutes to read! After that you just start experimenting and you will finally come up with some basic rules of thumb depending on what type of photo you want to capture. The beauty is that most photo viewing applications will show you the data that is saved with the picture so you don't have to remember what settings you had when you took each picture.

It was a fun picture taking day. I think I took about 300 pictures of Cayden jumping into this leaf pile!
