[QUOTE="boofhead, post: 505314, member: 40970"] gahhh... so I went to a lecture yesterday and took photos of the speaker (using my 55mm kit lens, I was seated in a good position up front). I followed advice given here, even tried with Auto ISO on but still got blurred images in S mode (and some in A mode) :( I was lucky to get a few good shots but that was a matter of timing because I took the pics when the speaker was pausing. But most of the time he was moving his hands when talking, and his hands are very blurred in my pics. I'll play around some more and start from scratch getting back to basics. I think I'll have to meet up with a photographer chum for a one-on-one tutorial to show what I mean! The shots I took outdoors on S mode (with Auto ISO on) are okay. But the indoor shots inside the lecture theatre which was well lit, urghhhhh. Frustrating, but I'll get there!Also in my photography course, the teacher was teaching us in A mode (which is fine with me as I use that). He said increasing ISO is not to get you brighter pictures, it's to essentially give you a faster shutter speed. And if you want to increase your brightness in photos (like the shadows) then increase your exposure compensation values. But I've read conflicting advice.
