What's a word for someone with low level of knowledge in an area, and no intention of going further?

Over on Photography Stack Exchange, people often describe themselves as "beginners" or "newbies". Nothing at all wrong with that — in fact, it's great. Both of these terms have the implication of starting at a low level now, but with the general expectation of gaining knowledge.

I want to distinguish this from someone who doesn't really want to begin at all. In photography, they may just want to take a decent picture for social media but don't actually want to learn anything or, heaven forbid, practice. But I also don't (always) mean this negatively: if that's not your interest, you're just needing to do this thing in the course of something you do care about, why should you become an actual beginner?

The same could apply to computers — I may be not very skilled at spreadsheets, but, also I don't consider myself a beginner, because I have no intention of getting better. I just sometimes find myself needing to edit them and send them around to people for my job.

Is there a word for this concept? I was thinking "tourist" — but, hopefully something less metaphorical. Sometimes people say "not a professional" or "just an amateur" with this kind of meaning, but particularly in photography that's really not the right distinction — an amateur may in fact be an expert.

This also isn't the same as "dilettante" — which does seem a perfect match for the full text of the question What word means someone who’s satisfied with superficial knowledge?, because that has a) an implication of showiness I don't mean to imply and b) doesn't apply very well at all to the case of someone just wanting a basic question answered so they can get a different job done. A dilettante has — or feigns — interest in a topic (and even may pretend expertise), but doesn't really have the will to learn. I'm looking for a word for someone who doesn't even have the interest or pretense of one.

In usage: "I just want a camera that will do everything for me — I don't want this as a hobby... I'm just a _____".

Solution 1:

Dabbler: a person who follows a pursuit without attaining proficiency or professional status.

Solution 2:

dilettante: a person whose interest in an art or in an area of knowledge is not very deep or serious

Dabbler is similar.

Solution 3:

You are probably looking for amateur:

• One who engages in an art, science, study, or athletic activity as a pastime rather than as a profession.

Solution 4:

The only phrase I’m able to come up with which specifically describes a base-level practitioner and which seems to have any currency is non-skilled user. It isn’t particularly pejorative, but does risk sounding as if it could easily be used with negative connotations. Also, it doesn’t trip of the tongue very readily as a way to describe one’s self, especially outside of a work environment. It falls short on the element of conveying that the practitioner has no aim or desire to increase their skills as well.
What I think English speakers generally do, at least in British English, is to specify the limits of their need in some way; so rather than saying “I don't want this as a hobby... I'm just a _____", you might say “I don’t want this as a hobby, it’s just a means to an end” or “I just need the rudiments”. If specific to photography you might say ‘I’m strictly point-and-shoot’, but these are all quite colloquial, I don’t believe there is any standard form.
