Help on shutter/aperture setting on Cybershot dsc-h3??

[bunki311]

I just received a new Sony Cybershot DSC-H3. I am totally new to manual settings. I see there is supposed to be a way to set aperture and shutter speeds manually. I looked through the manual and have gone through all the manual settings on the camera and still can't find a way to do this. Anyone have this camera and know how to do that? I appreciate any help..thanks! :)

Cmon, it's on page 31 of the manual. Set the dial on "M" , use the 4-way to adjust settings.

I'm sorry!! I'll check it again and try it out.

Thank you. My mistake was just looking at the actual booklet that came with the camera. I didn't realize that when I loaded the software, there was a little icon for an adobe reader handbook, which is where the info was located. Thanks for the help everyone!:p

Sorry I did not intend to sound rude, but I spent 10 minutes trying to load that PDF on the Sony site just to find out if the camera had manual settings :-)

Ooverdrive, I'm a guy by the way...

That's okay! I appreciate you taking the time to look that up for me. I just feel silly I didn't realize that the manual I should be looking for was one that came on the cybershot disc and not the one in the box! Oops! Again, much appreciated that you took the time out to help..those pdf's can be a major pain!!

I'm thinking about getting an H3...do you like it?

Is it easy to use but hard enough to be interesting?
