I'm a novice, too. Beginners are slow to learn photography by themselves, especially reading books. I feel bored. At that time, I studied for a long time and felt that my progress was slow!

Let me talk about my experience:

What I bought at that time was a photography tutorial, not a video tutorial, just like going to a training school. I can learn a lot from it. I watched the tutorial step by step, which is very suitable for beginners. However, the price is a bit expensive, but at least it can make a qualitative leap in your photography skills.

Actually, this has nothing to do with the camera. Photography is mainly some primary skills. If you master well, you will learn more smoothly in the future.

Let's just say. Veterans usually use aperture first because they can master the depth of field.

Veterans focus on one point because they can grasp the key points.

Veterans use spot metering or simply manual metering.

An old hand will see the truth and know the exposure.

This is the basic principle of getting started. I hope you can succeed soon!
