Wish someone teach me the newbie on using this machine, or even on photogarphy

1) first, is the lcd image the final light testing result ( or exposture recommendation...spare my terms, not sure the proper one!) after configuring various setting? So, I will have an image of what I see exactly displayed in the LCD? Is this the way DC to "tell us what's the proper exposture of a photo?.....if yes...

- then I find out when I use A60, I can't get what I see in the LCD, sometimes over and somtimes okay. (I try both the manual and the p mode), but just somehow I can't get what image/phot I will have when I check the LCD, it make me puzzled alot, kinda like betting on what I should have.....with no clue..yet

- when I use my friend's mintoa digi 7i, I can have (almost everytime), what I see/configure via the LCD display...

- is my concept wrong? or what I should pay attention?

2) as a newbie, I just know how to either set the apparture or the shutter speed to make a photo look "normal", I have no sense on which setting is good for any particular occasion? Any tips for me to learn

1. after you take the photo, the thing show in lcd is similar to your final photo (since lcd in DC is not very clear/good)

2. try auto mode or p mode, you cannot see clear maybe you have too fast shutter speed or too small aperture

3. do try m mode, try av, tv mode first, the DC will automatic cal. for you (you only need to set the shutter speed or aperture size), after you have more experience, you know how to set in M mode
