[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 351391, member: 8705"] Happy birthday Tracey, I've got until February until I hit fifty so you can call me young Geoff until then :-) As for your D800 congrats it's a great camera. If I had a single recommendation I would say to use the auto ISO whenever handholding and set it to the faster setting. If you then shoot in aperture priority mode it will set a shutter speed that is 1/2 x focal length. If you do that you'll get sharp handheld photos regardless of the rubbish you hear about the D800 elsewhere. You will find that ISO 3200 and even 6400 is pretty good if you clean it up. Obviously if you use a tripod go full manual at ISO 100 and you will get stunning results. Enjoy the camera. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD [/QUOTE]
