Switch it to the happy snapping green box... and click away, anything else is complicated (well for me anyway)... good choice of camera Take loads of pics, get photoshop, delete the crap ones, and manipulate the rest if you need too, spend hours of quality time with it,,, and you'll notice things that you wouldn't have looked at before.. good luck, open a photobucket account as well, much easier to upload your pics to sites...

Id recommend you use the "sports" setting at first and get used to how the camera feels and works. In time, switch to AV and TV which will control the aperture and shutter speed better and enable you to take some superb shots. The 55-200mm has a built in panning detector, so following moving subjects (dogs etc) should be fairly easy for you. Try AV setting for still stuff, see how you get on, you can control the background blur with this making the stuff you photograph stand out, great for dog portraits too.
