[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 571346, member: 27586"] I don't use auto ISO, just a mental block from my film shooting days......it is my final item of control. If I'm not getting the shutter I want I bump it up slowly as a last resort. With my gear I usually start at ISO 320, I won't go over ISO 800 on the D300 but the D700 shoots well at ISO 3200. I've got a couple extra stops to play with as well due to fast D f2.8 glass....it appears you have kit lenses which are great but slow. (I have a pair of kit lenses as well that I use a lot for walkarounds so I'm not too much of a lens snob) D lenses are not an option for you with the D5200 so upgrading to fast G glass = big $$$$$$. I have zero experience with 5 series Nikon cameras but I think bumping the ISO as suggested here is a place to experiment....shoot and test for satisfaction. Doesn't appear you have any glaring technique issues your hand is steady and you have a good eye. At some point you may find that you simply outgrow the D5200 and the kit glass and you need to upgrade to a more capable (faster) camera and better glass to accomplish your goals. Doesn't have to cost thousands there is plenty of pro level gear avail at bargain prices especially if you time your shopping with the release of new models. Getting away from the 3/5 series cameras also allows you to shop for D lenses as I did. Mine are super fast and wonderful. A D7200 for example with a previous version 300 F4 should slay those animals you seek easily....add my 80-200 f2.8 D and you'd be a dangerous hunter indeed. At current prices you could perhaps not break the bank with such an upgrade. [/QUOTE]
