Knowing your camera & its settings is an imperative part of photography. If you can't use it properly you will struggle getting the image you want to create. You also need to know how your camera exposure works along with your flash exposure & camera histogram. Check out the video for more info & the website link for the written list.

What is bracketing!? Is it a white balance thing? ...back to my manual :/

[GregoryCazillo]

@funincluded No bracketing is shooting multiple exposures of the same scene for an exposure range...yup, thats in the manual.

I only know a little bit about metering; my manual doesn't explain the situations where center metering is appropriate. That is only for getting this really accurate off of a grey card in-studio, right?

[GregoryCazillo]

@funincluded Thats where I come in! I added your suggestions to my list. Center weighted metering is for situations where you don't want most of the background to be considered in the metering calculations. For example posing someone in front of a bright window. I only use gray cards for white balance, not metering.
