Hi all, I am planning to get a D5100 but i dont know whether should i go for the 18-55mm kit lens package or just get the Body + AFS 50mm F1.8 or 35mm

Most of the time i am using to take food, portrait and scene...

Hello everybody. I am new here. Just bought a D5100. I had took some pictures with M mode. However I am still not familiar with the setting between aperture and shutter speed. What I have done was zoom in/out and took pictures based on the "brightness line" which the indicator remain around 0. Also still unable to control the focus points and etc. sad.gif

Sometimes when taking pictures at low light environment or maybe the object was moving, the shutter speed will be very slow and the object appears in my picture will be ery blur.

Is there any guidance for a newbie like me? Thanks ya.

Try not jump into 'M' mode right away. Google and learn about the Exposure Triangle which consist of 3 elements namely Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Then toggle between 'A' and 'S' mode to get more understanding about it. Only when you completely understands how each element effect each other, then you can start practising 'M' mode. Just my 2 cents.
