Firstly, congratulations on your new camera.

My first piece of advice would be to go through the User Manual of the camera. Trust me, that's the best place to learn about your camera, it's features, different modes and settings. Also, remember to have the camera beside you while reading the manual. You can then cross refer what you read with what's on the camera.

Once you are done with that you'll feel a lot more comfortable using the camera.

Good luck with it and have fun!

The instruction manual will tell you how to change settings. No why.

This tutorial may help you understand the basics of why.
Exposure (1) A balancing act

1: 100,000 clicks, in short, don't worry about it.

2: shot answer - yes it's just as important outside. Long answer - white balance on DPS. I also encourage you to learn about using RAW.
