OMG I have the same Canon and I'm still in auto mode.
My husband laughs at me all the time..I have this fancy, schmancy camera and in auto mode (but it still takes great pics I must say) and I promised myself that I would start to learn how to use this thing. Thanks so much for starting this thread and I'm picking up some pointers.
I have already done the coming down to their level while taking pics and I must say when I have done that..I have the best pics!
It's a great camera that's for sure.
Oh an all the pics in her avatar and when I post are taken with this camera! And I know NOTHING about cameras..hehehe.
