<p>I found out the exposure compensation wasn't set at 0<br> With the above settings, in Manual Mode, does that mean I have to adjust shutter and aperture?<br> Thanks</p>

<p>I had a go last night using the A and S modes last night, and adjusting ISO and either shutter speed or aperture, but I was struggling<br> The photos were coming out really dark, when I adjusted ISO to correct it, I was getting an error message that the subject was too bright</p>

<p>Many thanks for all the feedback<br> I am just starting out, and I do have lots to learn<br> As for tripods, I haven't yet used one, these shots were taken whilst I was steadying myself on a fence, and the second one I was resting the camera on some wood on the ground</p>

<p>Hi</p> <p>I recently bought my first dslr, a Nikon D5300<br> I was taking some pics at weekend, using the kit lens and auto mode<br> They looked fine on the camera screen, and the 13" screen on my laptop, but when I looked on my PC they quality doesn't seem that good<br> I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, or expecting too much, but they seem to lack definition and crispness</p> <p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/jools182/DSC_0173_zpsgcwyfjxv.jpg" alt="" /><br> <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/jools182/DSC_0424_zpsx7rrmzdd.jpg" alt="" /></p>
