In the beginning, just turn the dial to P and start shooting. Do not worry about anything else.

Once the initial rush is over, start with Reading The F***ing Manual.

Alternately, you can just press buttons methodically (if you press randomly like Mr Bean, then sh** will happen) and note what happens.

It is always good to learn by doing :)
-SS.

aah i have always suggested my method but nobody liked it :D see if it helps u

take a pic in auto mode....check the exif details in the screen....see whats wrong in the pic...if its underexposed think y ?? if too dark see whats the aperture camera have used...see the ISO ...y it took soo much ISO and what if u reduce the ISO.

Auto modes really help learning

I did something similar to this...and still do this thinking while taking pics...but dont take auto shots anymore :D

It's highly impossible (at least for me), for ants and mosquitoes to stay still until we click. Try to put your camera close to the subject, and focus should be in the subject else you will get the subject softer.

do it the this way...check the macro focus distance with a pin or bolt....use flash and see the result....then try this on fly which is more stable then ant....and lastly try on and with some sugar or sugar water :)

You won't get that in SX150, for that you need either DSLR(the proper way to do it), or a Sony P&S with background blurring effect support.

Okay thanks....i love the color pic feature set one color(Maybe make the whole pic b&w) and only one color maybe blue or red

There are also plenty of tutorials on the web elsewhere. Just search for "how to take bokeh pictures" with Google.

You may need to read and experiment a lot to get a good one

You can get that blur effect but not as good as DSLR. Just background need to be far behind the subject. Farther the better... And shoot at largest aperture.

yaah its easy with bigger aperture lenses from close distance and can be done with zoom lens like prashant told you

bokeh with 50mm lens is superb

try taking pics in daytime without flash...or use some kind of diffuser on ur flash so that u get soft light on insect...harsh light is useless from that distance
