As I say set the lens to M/A the camera A setting to around f8 and you won't be that far off the general range you will need. Have a look at the shutter speed at that setting for future use if you go onto "S " on the camera. You will find the conditions of the day will have quite an effect on those settings ie cloudly/sunny

cool its dark here now so tomorrow i will hopefully be out shooting on

aperture programme at f8

look out for my results
