thank you very much sir for your reply. I already bought D3100, I choose it other than D3200 because of its lower price hehe!!. Honestly I don't have any idea of the said camera specially its menu functions and buttons. I look forward of getting an idea from professional photographers like to guide me. If I may ask again, what should I consider first when taking picture using D3100 in bright light and low light? Hoping for your favorable response...
Personally, I wouldn't bother about camera setting in the first instance. Set it on Auto as Robert mentioned, and take a few shots over a few days....different lighting, indoor, outdoor close up, scenery....a variety of subjects.
Then LOOK at each photo. Study it and ask yourself these simple questions.....
What's good and what's bad about it; what would I like to change; what would improve the image?????
THEN its a matter of deciding how / if the camera can be configured to make those improvements.
Some of the things to look out for....
1. Main subject(s) too dark or light when compared to its surroundings/background
2. Main subject(s) blurred or subject AND background all blurred
3. Main subject(s) / subject areas not sharply in focus
4. Grainy appearance to the photo
The quickest way to understanding how a camera performs is to take photos ....and look for those ways to improve the images.
There are plenty of people on the forum who will happily advise you on how best to make the changes you require.
