    Hello all, besides taking pictures with my phone, I am totally new to photography,I hope to learn a thing or two on this site.
    I just bought a Canon 80D camera that has more buttons than I know what to do with, but I have been reading up about it. I hope to do a lot of wildlife photos.

    Welcome to the forums, don't be afraid to ask questions!
    You can also probably look up a few videos online that will walk you through the functions of your new camera and get you started.

    Welcome to the forum, Nimrod.
    Just adding to what Johnsey told you, I suggest YouTube as I have found this to be a excellent source of information on the 80D camera and wildlife photography.
    This site has some very experienced people on it who are willing to give advice.

    Thanks fellas, I have been watching some YouTube videos, they are informative. I can’t wait to get out and start using this camera, I’m sure I will have plenty of questions. Thanks again.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Just find the on off button for starters and you will be good to go.
