Hrm....read through the manual like you are while the battery charges. Look particularly hard at the sections on the menu options.
Turn on sequential file numbering- no naming conflicts for 10,000 pictures.

If you think you can handle it, don't use auto mode. that ruined my first D70 pic. Try P mode. shoot your first shot RAW+JPG and make it good. auto ISO off for that shot, keep track of all yoursettings. make the first shot count. Don't delete it. I did when I got my first shot with the D70. I learned from my mistake.

My frist picture with my D50 was of a taco bell cup that was sitting right by me. It came out all blurry. :blush2:
