Grainy and weird? Care to elaborate on what you are shooting and what the conditions are?

The issue with the D3200 is you can't make all the changes when shooting so ideally need to set the exposure beforehand. Set the ISO to base if it is super bright and then adjust your aperture and keep checking the liveview for settings you are happy with and then pull manual focus when shooting.

Thanks for the help, ill have to have a look at some more settings and just get used to it, and by grainy i mean it looks no depth has no detail and looks bland @redlion

Just have a look at what people have created here with the same kit http://vimeo.com/search/sort:relevant/format:thumbnail?q=D3200

To get more depth you may want the 35mm & 50mm lenses to get the DOF you crave or shoot at the 55mm end of your zoom at a distance to your subject matter to get more depth.

What are you trying to shoot? People? Landscape?
