Topic: New DSLR
Hello all.
I'm just starting out with a DSLR. (and I'm quite the noob) It's a Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000D. For a lens I'm using a Nikon AF 35-80mm F4-5.6D Zoom Nikkor via an adapter. I've also purchased a tulip flower lens hood, and a set of macro filters, and soon I'm purchasing some good DSLR frame capture software. So I'm all ready to go, but I have a few concerns:
1. This is my biggest problem. Whenever I take an image, some kind of internal flash kicks in and makes the image significantly brighter. I think it has something to do with the exposure, but when I press the exposure button on the camera in the settings menu, nothing happens.
2. How do I achieve advanced camera angles with such a big heavy camera? Simple camera angles shouldn't be a problem.
3. Similar to the above problem, how do I achieve advanced camera movements? Again, simple ones are no problem.
Any help to any of these problems or any additional pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
