Grainy photos and troubles in macro

[Myka]

Ok, I found the shutter speed. I adjust that with a button that has an asterisk on it. I would have never known...

Thanks for pointing out all these new adjustments! I'm still having some troubles focussing in macro. It beeps saying it has focussed, but when I look on puter it is not focussed.

My F number range (BKT?) is 2.8-8.0, and then I can spread the numbers (AEB?) from 2-4, but I can only choose one option, either AEB or BKT.

I think I need to take a photography course!

Right now on aperture priority it's bleaching the pics out... now I need to figure out how to change those settings so it isn't doing that anymore...
