I had 4 beers... so I didn't get to shoot much. One of them, Angry Orchard, tasted like Apple Juice... so its an fyi if you ever need a toddler to get to pass out.

I had some questions and hopefully yall have answers. I usually correct vignetting in post using LR4 based upon the lens I was using. Do yall simply have the camera fix the peripheral illumination and the chromatic aberration? Or do yall also do that in post... Having said that... I don't know that I ever tried to fix CA...

The other thing. What do yall put for you copyright info. I'm not a pro, but I don't want to be silly either.

At the moment, I have my name and the name of the "company" I shoot photos under... but I think you really need to make a profit, any profit, before you refer to yourself as a company.

Take some Photos followed by Beer, under no circumstances read the Manual, toughen up, your a Guy, I hope, we don't read Manuals, we take Photos & drink Beer, then more Beer followed by more Photos, then Beer.

And if your a Gal, Ok, read the damn Manual we know you always do, but then don't forget to take some Photos, then Beer.

Who needs a manual when I have ya'll?

And I'm a guy, despite drinking the apple juice beer suggesting the contrary.

spend some time reading the manual ::) especially about the AF
I load the manuals as PDF on my phone so that I can read when I have time in between (like on the train)

This is very good advice....I was once in the middle of a river on a boat trying to get a shot I wanted but couldn't remember how to get the camera to do what I wanted....out came my smart phone and the manual, problem solved.

I guess the boat wasn't moving. for my 60d I bought a book by Charlotte Lowrie which described the functions and features of the camera. it was a kindle book so I have used that a few times when I forgot something I should know. but I think I prefer a physical book. I wish there was a digital option as well when you buy the book.

and y'all are right about the auto focus. it is really quite different than the 60d... so that will take some time to figure out.

1. charge the battery and read the manual during charging the battery
2. Setup the camera with your prefered settings (image quality, RAW or JPG+RAW, AF-Points ...)
3. shoot, shoot, shoot ...
