Hello /p/, I'm new to photography (have used film cameras before though), and need some help. I've recently bought myself a Canon 1300D as a beginner camera because I'm poor.
I'm going to Japan pretty soon, and need to learn to use my camera properly for taking pictures. I'm planning on shooting a short-film which I know how to do, but I want to take some pictures and I don't understand anything.
I took a photography class way back in the 10th grade, so I know a bit about ISO and all that shit, but I don't actually know how to use my camera. Should I just stick to the Automatic mode and let it do all the work for me?

Buy the fastest and largest memory cards you can get your hands on.
I have a 650D, is the 1300D like newer in that line or a better system? I ask because the autofocus on the kit lens that came with the 650D was piss. It clicked and was recorded during the video.
So, look up how focusing works on yours. Manual focus on videos might look nice too tho.
As for sound, if sound is paramount to you, consider getting a small directional microphone.
Finally, automatic is good enough now a days you shouldn't worry. But I recommend put it manual and just practice changing aperture and shutter speed. And seeing how you control the light that goes in.
Disclaimer: I know doodley squat about video, a maybe a little more about photography. But I think it's worth considering.

I purchased a 128GB SD card, so that should suffice.
I'm pretty sure you're right about the 1300D just being a newer version in the line.
I've got sound and all that covered for the video aspect, but it won't matter too much really as I'll be used music and stuff for the video.
Thanks for the help, I'll have to mess about with the camera a bit more to get the hang of it, hopefully it's not that much harder than the basic camera I used back in high school.

For that price you could've got a real camera like the Pentax K-50

The Pentax K-50 without a lens would cost me $120 more than the 1300D which comes with a lens.

>>2952461
K-50 with a lens is $300

It costs $622 in Australia.
