hi Pat, good to hear you will soon have your new camera etc.......gotta be happy with that!
No need to say read the manual as I am sure you will
Most of the time I shoot on AV so as to have control over the aperture/DOF and I will also adjust my aperture to achieve the exposure I want. I also keep a close eye on the shutter speed and adjust the ISO. I always try to keep my ISO down where possible. Exposure compensation is another I will play with after looking at my histogram..... I will most of the time be +2/3.
I will also use M and TV...........and if I am handing my camera to someone else most of the time I will set it to P.
If in doubt I would use P to start with.........exposure and aperture are set by the camera but you have control over ISO, flash. exposure compensation and the metering
Its a steep curve when you get your first DSLR...........ask heaps of questions
good luck
