Hey, i bought a nikon d60 in the end, i have noo idea how to set it up


I tried to do some night pics, but they was too dark, or too blurry ...

Also close up pics i was unsure how to make them fine etc...

Does anyone know how to set these things up ?

You need a tripod and a long exposure for night shots mate. Put it in S mode (Shutter Priority, and wind it down to maybe 15/30 seconds and see what you get.

Without writing an essay, it's quite hard to be specific on the things you ask.

What set-up would you like help with first?

Read the guide at the top.

No offence, but the same questions crop up - week after week !!!

It's blurry because you're holding it whilst the shutter is open for that length of time. It needs to be placed on something solid, or even better, a tripod. The shutter time being open longer lets more light in yes.

did you read the manual?????????????????

too dark would be underexposed, not enough light getting in

too blurry would be too long a shutter speed

read the manual first, and I mean read not just skim through
