Garry,
My dad gave a 35 mm pentax camera, and I have no idea what I'm doing I'm
familiar with some of the features but I still don't know how and when to set
the different features such as the f stop and the distance and the balance
needle in the middle of the camera.
The information that Kodak has provided on these pages is excellent.
Everything that you need to know about basic camera operations is covered and
very well explained. If you have any questions after you have read them, I
would be happy to help you.
