>>3347100Honestly dude, it is very hard to give precise pointers for what you have. Most of the stuff we're used to has pasm control scheme on the dial, this thing command dial is filled with scene mode stuff. Not going to diss you off like most of the people here. Sensor sizes are overrated, you can go far on a quality low size sensor, and decent glass, which you have. It's perfectly possible to shoot great pictures simply with what you have. Though raw ability would be much preferred for postprocessing, you'll have some room there as well. Just know that you've a zoom cam. It's designed to give best possible magnification for the price range. Good stabilization will be vital, so you'll get as little motion blur as possible on longer focal distances. Shorter not so much, should be able to get good shots handheld. Now look up your manual and toy with your settings until you find a ways to adjust aperture, shutter and iso. Forget everything else, and study how they work. Not going to write a manual on these, but together with focal distances (camera zoom) they work exactly the same on what you have, as on the big cams, so you can easily look up beginner's vid tutorials, read up net articles or any kind of book dealing with any kind of digital camera, and come back with everything you'll need.
