I watched the Tony Northrup video for this camera today and it was a great help. Will watch his other videos and look up more too. Thank you. Thanks Andy will take a look at that :)

Think this one is a little better.

Yes i realise they aren't great lol, just trying to get used to using the camera. This was just taken in the back garden, so back ground isn't great. I'm not sure how to change the focus point to get the clearer eyes like you said? I thought that after looking back at the pics. Lol the ugly...

so the camera came today.... my heads spinning i can't get the hang of it lol. took a few photos in auto mode to get the hang of the most basic controls etc. next is trying to understand how to use the other modes :hungover:
