What, in the world, is a digital teleconverter?

Usually means the 2x digital teleconverter common on Oly. It takes the middle 1/4 of pixels (say the middle 4MP of a 16MP sensor) and interpolates that up to the regular full resolution.

A cheap way to get double the focal length if only need it for screen display or small prints.

Do I want to "Keep Warm Colors"?

It was designed to keep that warm look under incandescent lamps, but generally seems to make everything too warm, Best set to off.

Maybe I need to learn to shoot RAW so I won't be such a newbie, too.

Have no fear of shooting raw+jpeg and storing the raw files for some later time when you have the time and patience and knowledge to play with them. Budget for the extra storage capacity needed, and extra backup storage as well.

And it's nice to have a real, working movie camera that really does autofocus when you use it.

This P3 ought to keep me busy awhile, before I try to upgrade.

Play with that for as long as you can and see if it limits you in any way. Meanwhile more options will appear and prices keep falling on older gear.

Regards..... Guy
