Photographers who miss fewer moments know their controls by feel. This drill builds that in fifteen minutes.
Sit somewhere comfortable with the camera in your hands, strap around your neck or wrist.
Once level 1 is easy, do the same thing with the camera held up to your eye, or at arm's length if you shoot with the screen. This is how you'll really use it.
Set a timer for 60 seconds. In that time, switch on, set the mode dial to P, take a photo, view it, add one step of brightness, take it again, and switch off. Repeat until you can do it in under 40 seconds with a minute to spare.
Do the drill once today and once tomorrow. The second time is when it sticks.
