Any good link that can start off with the basics of aparture and all those other manual settings on the GL2. Like S1/60, F1.6 and the 18db stuff.
I need a good resource where it explains the settings then goes into detail of when to use which and why etc.
If anyone knows of such information, they would be helping me out a lot.
Thanks.

Here's a site that should address most of those topics. Gain isn't covered (It'd relate closely to film speed on that page), it's basically an artificial light boost. Most people keep it at it's lowest setting whenever possible.

Nota "Think possibilites, not rules" Mono

gain will add noise to the signal. it's like pushing film and adding grain.

anyway, no one will ever tell you when to use certain settings because that's not how cameras work.

you have to understand how light works, and then how the different camera elements work when capturing the image. then you put that knowledge to use by selecting the right combination of aperature, focus, and shutter speed to get the image you want.

as you get better, and use your camera more, you will learn in what areas your particular camera excels and in which areas it lacks, and you can use your knowledge to compensate for it.
