[QUOTE="nickt, post: 254337, member: 4923"] Its best to post a couple pictures with all of your settings listed. It is most likely too low of a shutter speed. A rough guide is shutter speed should be 1/focal length. So try to stay at 1/60 or faster at zoom. You can't just up the shutter speed though, everything has to balance out. Usually that is not a problem if there is plenty of light. 2nd guess would be an unintended focus point. Since you say you are lost with the settings, I will offer up some material to learn about exposure: [URL="http://digital-photography-school.com/learning-exposure-in-digital-photography"]Learning about Exposure - The Exposure Triangle - Digital Photography School[/URL] [URL="http://www.exposureguide.com/exposure.htm"]Exposure | Understanding Exposure - ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed Explained[/URL] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8T94sdiNjc"]Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, & Light Explained-Understanding Exposure & Camera Settings - YouTube[/URL] A good book... Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. Any basic photography book should also clue you in on exposure basics. Sometimes you can find good ones in the bargain bins.
