I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what settings I should choose for different types of photo I want to take in order for me to get the best pictures?

Indoor photos (light & dark)

Outdoor Portrait (light & dark)

Outdoor Landscape (light & dark)

I don't have a clue what all this ISO & White Balance stuff is and am also not sure where the different scenes would be best used. (Where would Beach/Snow be used as I won't be taking my phone on any beach and we never get any snow!!)

try this

outdoor pics (maybe portrait, landscape)........... document settings + EV -0.3 or (-0.7)
sometimes palin auto works best...try and you will see.

EV is the D-Pad (Joystick), click one or two times down, and your pictures gets darker(normal),
also have daylight profile ON all time, except if its realy cloudy, then you turn it OFF.
-------------------------------------------

indoor, (no flash).....document + EV -0.3

indoor with flash......auto + ISO.100....(you find ISO inside the camera meny...set it to iSO.100)
-----------------------------------------------------------

easy peacy lingon dricka

Confused.

Do you mean I need to set Scenes as either portrait/landscape or document? Which is it?!

Say I want to take a photo of a building, or the inside of a football stadium?
