    thank you for your dedication, effort, time, and investment for doing all these lessons for your readers and followers.

    Suggestion: detailed “How-to” on the Camera itself
    How to adjust all these settings altogether (setting ISO 100, and setting F16 and setting the Shutter speed 1/125)

    Your previous lessons explains how to set each parameter by its own. But the Question is How to combine all of these parameters altogether in one shot

    Thanks in Advance
