Hi, I'm a Nikonite, a pal has asked me to help her move beyond Auto on her 750D. Of course, everything is different with you lot, can soemone point me to a simple but thorough user guide?

Guessing it will need menu delving or custom buttons to go full manual so will suggest Shutter or Aperture with Canon version of AutoISO. What's that called in Canonese?

Thx in advance

Dweeble,

One thing you might suggest to your friend is to do a Google search for User Manual Canon 750D.

Download the Manual and use the Search function in the pdf file.

It changed my life.

And yeah, the easiest thing to move off of full Auto is to select one of the semi-Auto modes like Av (aperture priority), TV (shutter priority), or P (Program)  mode with Auto ISO.

Tell her that she can use Av for still subjects and TV for moving subjects.
