Firstly when you are setting up your camera it will tell you to set up you will be expected to set up the date , time and time zone . once you have done that you will want to look through the viewfinder and press the shutter release button on top of the camera half way down until you hear a double beep this will confirm that the lens are in focus .
If you are new to using a camera like this then playing around with the different camera settings can be rather daunting at first i would suggest turning the mode dial on top of your camera to auto setting as the camera will automatically calculate the best exposure for you and you should be good to go .
When Operating the flash you will want to press the information button this is located behind the shutter release button a screen will appear this will say LCD monitor on it will show all the different camera settings press the i button located on the lower left corner of the LCD. Use the four way arrow keys surrounding the ok button and move until the flash mode a lighting bolt icon is highlighted in yellow .
When setting up a tripod remember to extend the largest section of the legs first and the smaller sections at the bottom of the legs are less rigid then the thick top sections so these are more wobbly . Avoid raising the centre colum as this is the most unstable component of affordable tripods so avoid trying to film or take pictures in conditions when it is windy .
Make sure that the feet are stable on the ground as if the tripod is placed on a slippery surface like a rock or loose gravel then try to wedge the feet in position especially if you are shooting in a low angle.
