[QUOTE="nickt, post: 155453, member: 4923"] Do you shoot raw? If not, today might be the day to try raw + jpg. Raw to give you more room to fix exposure problems and white balance. I am no expert, but I would shoot shutter priority to insure my shutter never got too slow. (I'm assuming no flash) Use whatever ISO is required to get the shot. Matrix metering and auto area focus unless you have a particular character you need to follow. In that case, I would single point focus and possibly spot meter. Remember shutter priority to keep that shutter to 1/focal length or even higher if there is any motion to stop. Crank the iso up as needed for a happy exposure. Crank it up a little more if you need to get the aperture stopped down a bit for more depth of field. Aperture is your second priority though, first priority is to be sure you don't have blurry pics from slow shutter speed. Hopefully you have enough light to get both shutter and aperture where you want them. Don't worry so much about noise, that can be fixed to some extent. Blurry can't be fixed. [/QUOTE]
