All high end DSLR cameras are complex, offering as many modes as possible.
There are many photographers capable of operating them with great success. I
did study the manuals as a wanted to set WB and +/- override on two separate
buttons that can be access instantly and not through menues. This can't be
done by intuition:-).
When using my D40 toy, I set it to P (professional;-)) mode, Auto ISO, JPG.
