The draw back will be the f/3.5. The delivery room should have good lighting, they usually do. I would try to find out just what lighting you will be working with so you can be prepared. Since you are not likely to be able to do any white balance testing I would use Auto WB. The D 3000 has low noise at high ISO capabilities so you should be able to shoot in the 1250 to 2500 ISO range and still get good pictures. Aperture priority set at f/3.5 is probably your best setting. Take a few test shots before the baby arrives and make adjustments. Your next best bet is to determine if the medical center will allow flash. If they do be sure you have a fully charged set of batteries for a fast recycle.</p></blockquote><p></p>
