I should add these are auto & SOOC. :o I wanted to get the feel of my new camera before trying to get back to manual settings.

Actually, one of the things I was taught in an online course was that it is better to start with manual settings, rather than using the auto ones. You will learn more quickly by making mistakes which apertures and shutter speeds to use in any given situation. I bought books by Bryan Peterson, Understanding Exposure, and Learning to See Creatively - both were VERY helpful.
