I just bought another camera last week and I havent shot in about 4 years. I feel like I'm stumbling a bit. Can anyone suggest a good book or some sort of info/tutorial I can maybe read up on to give my memory a little jog.

Thanks.

What camera? How about just the manual to get familiar with the features of the camera?


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

7d mark 1. not so much the features but how to properly use shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. I mean i understand some of it but i feel like i could be doing something a bit better.

+1 for suggestion to read manual.

If it is not the Fuji X series camera manual, but something like for Canon DSLR. :)
