Best Settings for Nikon D80 DSLR Camera? - 1

I've bought a Nikon D80 from a friend, I been toying around with it for a while, but can't seem to get good quality pictures, I've been trying to take pictures of family and friends, but can't seem to get good quality pictures, what settings do you recommend I use to get good images from my D80?

There are no best settings for a fully adjustable DSLR camera. You heed to learn the basics of exposure and use the camera's internal light meter to adjust the settings for each shot.
