[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 753903, member: 46724"] Its been a while since I have played with a D5XXX but I think there was a way to use a combo of the exposure compensation/command wheel but I think it changes depending on if you use aperture priority, shutter priority or full manual. I remember it being a PITA, which is one of the main reasons why I traded up to a D7XXX. I think your best bet is to use aperture priority if you want to be able to adjust that on the fly. Otherwise, if you have a fast shutter speed and you are in shutter priority, it will max out the aperture for you most likely leaving you to adjust the shutter speed without paying much attention to the aperture. Dont forget to go into your menus and set up min/max shutter speed, auto iso values, etc. That will help reduce the amount of time you need to go menu diving to adjust simple settings. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
