[QUOTE="aroy, post: 494350, member: 16090"] For kids on the move you really need 1/500. The problem is that with insufficient light even at F1.8, you will rarely get 1/125. I have shot a lot of images at F1.8 indoors, even a dance a couple of days ago. But the light has to be decent or the subject still. Upping ISO does help a bit, but in my opinion that increase shadow noise a lot. When you set the mode to "S", the camera will keep changing the aperture. As the light intensity reduces, the aperture will keep opening up. Till it hits the fastest; in your case F1.8; after that the speed keeps reducing. Here are the work arounds . Shoot RAW. That gives you much leeway in correcting exposure in post. If you have never processed RAW, download the Nikon Capture NX-D from Nikon site, install it, read the manual and start using it. . Set ISO to 100. . Set Aperture Priority. . Set Aperture to F1.8. Till you get decent light avoid using higher F numbers. . If speeds are around 1/60, then dial in Exposure Compensation at -1EV . If that still does not help, increase the ISO to 400. Though that will give correct exposure at the bright parts, shadows will be quite noisy. . If nothing else helps, use the flash. That works for near enough objects. . If you have an external flash, then use it with the head pointed up and exposure compensation on flash as +2. [/QUOTE]
