[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 494479, member: 13090"] In such a situation, and assuming flash is out of the question, you have to make a choice about what is most important: Stopping the action, or keeping the digital noise to a minimum; because you are NOT going to have both a high shutter speed (for stopping motion) AND low noise levels (by using, say ISO 100). So that's the decision you have to make. As Bob points out, photography is often a juggling act. If it were me, I would choose an aperture, say for instance f/2.8 or f/4, that would give the DoF I need to keep the subject matter in sharp focus. I would adjust Auto-ISO to use anything from ISO 100 to 12,800 (or whatever maximum ISO is on your D3300) and adjust the shutter speed setting (also in the Auto-ISO menu) over to the right to keep the shutter speed as high as the subject matter and focal length required. If your D3300 doesn't allow you to adjust the minimum shutter-speed as part of the Auto-ISO settings, I would probably shoot in full Manual with Auto ISO enabled. I'd adjust my aperture to what ever I thought would be required to keep the subjects in focus, say, f/4 for example, and a shutter speed fast enough to stop the action, say for instance 1/250 or so. Auto-ISO will then adjust the ISO as needed to work with my chosen aperture and shutter speed and render correct exposure. You can then see what sort of ISO's you're shooting at and adjust shutter-speed or aperture to achieve the overall balance you need. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]......[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
