A quick look at how to start shooting with your D3100. This video presumes no prior knowledge of a DSLR.

I take you through how to take your first photo, and how to move on to the more advanced modes.

@youarenuts. I'll see if I can make another and go more in depth on those functions.

@karenncolorado if you watch my video titled Nikon D3100 back button focusing, then that will tell you what what that button does, and can do. In default mode, it locks the exposure or the focus, but you can change its function to a few other things.

Can you please do a video on Macro mode please? Thanks again!

[Photoix]

@zoemonkey199 I could, but it wouldnt be very long. Macro mode doesnt do anything other than change the shutter speed and aperture of the camera. You need a macro lens to do macro photography, or at least some sort of macro attachment like the Raynox DCR-250.
