Since you asked this question, I'd suggest starting with the Landscape mode.

As you gain more experience, you might try the other modes. Eventually you'll get to the P, S, and A semi-automatic and the M manual modes which give you full control over the camera. These modes will let you control what the pictures say to the viewer instead of letting the camera make the decisions.

Canon Rebel camera wideangle lens settings?

That depends on what you're taking a picture of. The best setting for a landscape picture won't necessarily be the best setting for a group portrait. You might want to use different settings for a daytime landscape than for a sunset. That's why the camera offers different settings. The camera is a tool. You're the photographer.

What is the best setting on the camera to take pictures of buildings?

That depends on a lot of factors. Are you shooting in daylight or at night? Indoors or outdoors? The entire building or some detail? Are you trying for any special effect or mood?

For the entire building or room, treat it as a landscape and use the landscape mode. For details, treat it as a portrait and use the portrait mode.

Since you're not paying for film processing, go ahead and experiment. Take a lot of pictures using different settings and then select the best one after you download them to a computer.

The skin tone is very red and blotchy, not true to color.

You have a mode you place your camera in for either landscapes,portraits, etc.. There should be a switch on top of the camera that allows you to select this. Normal or standard is the best setting to leave it on!!
