[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 360320, member: 9240"] What lens were you shooting with? I suspect the shutter speed chosen was right around your focal length. Generally this doesn't happen unless you set shutter speed to AUTO, so it should have put you at 1/125 whenever possible by raising the ISO appropriately. Only once it maxes out the ISO should it drop your shutter speed below the specified minimum. So ISO 400 and 1/40 or 1/80 just doesn't make sense. Have you verified that the settings you specified are actually the settings? Sometimes when I'm navigating that menu I exit certain selections inappropriately and they don't take (sometimes you click back, sometimes you click OK...). It really sounds like your minimum shutter speed is set to AUTO or something lower than 1/125s. Another way around this would be to shoot in Manual mode at f8 and 1/125 with Auto ISO on at a max of 3200 as it will ignore the shutter speed portion - though it will cause dark images if ISO 3200 isn't sufficiently high for the proper exposure. But that's often fixable in post. [/QUOTE]
