I went for a walk with the family this evening as darkness encroached. I set my D5100 to 'S' wanting to stop the action as best I could, but 1/30 was the fastest I could do. Several minutes later at a different location with perhaps better light, I switched to Auto and found myself able to shoot at 1/125 @ f/5.6 as seen here with the geese. Was it merely the change of location that allowed me 1/125 or does switching to Auto bypass some sort of limit (ASA?) that I may have set in my camera? Maybe too I was just not thinking, which seems to be happening more these days. Thank you.
