Getting to Know the Digital SLR Camera
I found "Do not look at the sun through the viewfinder" surprising I had previously known that it is dangerous to look at the sun even without a camera.
I found it surprising to not use the viewfinder diopter control, because I did not know I could accidentally poke myself in the eye when using a camera.
"Observe caution when using flash" was surprising because I did not know flash could burn the skin.
The A/M button controls the auto mode on the lens as well as the manual function on the lens.
