Ok, I’m rather suprised myself for guiding a friend of mine on using the newly bought dSLR. I’m still improving my skills technically and there is just so much to learn. Feeling challenged over this, I kept my cool and passdown whatever I knew and learnt from my other pals. We brushed on the following topics..
Focusing modes
Aperture shooting mode
Shutter shooting mode
Program shooting mode (aka idiot proof’s mode)
Flash (rear flash, fill flash, shooting under bright sunny days)
Exposure compensation
&…. the forbidden one… Metering!! haha… 
Just for the record, it took me quite a while to understand metering. I’m not saying I’m an expert of course but when I first got my hands on the camera.. I was such an idiot on the metering topic. It was a fun time…. woo hoo…
