Welcome. I recommend that you find a class locally that will teach you the basics. It will be much easier in 2 or 3 hands-on sessions than by reading through all these replies. Another possibility would be to borrow a book from your local library and work your way through some of the exercises. If you can borrow an incident light meter you will find it much easier to understand about exposure, and it will give you a baseline against which to compare the way your camera's light reading works (or not, depending on the situation). Bob ========== I agree. A basic photography class is the best way to understand shutter speed, f stops, and ISO. The basics of exposure. Photography is experiential.
