Excited to see the results with the camera.

PROTIP: I can do everything full manual, but it really slows you down. I started shooting aperture priority in like '99 and aside from taking pictures of the moon, night cityscapes and really challenging contrast situations, I get the picture 100% of the time.

Chances are good that you'll be happiest with the results with the aperture fully open (I'ma guess the lens you have is an f/4-f/5.6). If you get vignetting at the lens' widest, bump it up a stop.
