In this video I display the Manual for the Nikon D3300 which I looked up by googling “Nikon D3300 manual”.

Every camera may have different buttons, dials and displays; so refer to your manual for specific instructions on adjusting your cameras settings.
If you don’t have a manual you can simply google “Make, Model + Manual”.
