I know there's some way to figure out how to adjust the shutter speed and f-stop. i think it goes,if u use a small f-stop you use a faster shutter speed and vice versa. is that right?

'how far downt the rabbit hole do you want to go?'

Think of it this way:

Small f stop number, big hole, lots of light, faster shutter speed
Big f stop number, small hole, less light, slower shutter speed

best way to figure out how to adjust is to use a light meter, But trial and error works good too, Just takes a little longer sometimes.

The power of controlling your photos certainly lies in the ability to make these choices / decisions.
I'm sure the manual to your camera and also many links on the internet can help.
This one seems decent: One of many links I'm sure!

GOod luck! these forums are always a good place to get answers.
