To this end, I'd set the Mode Dial to "S"hutter Priority, and dial in the 1/250 shutter speed. For aperture, you're probably going to want to use something around f/4 or f/5; that's just a guesstimate. Now, what you're going to find, is that in order to maintain that shutter speed the camera is going to need to boost the ISO, the sensors sensitivity to light. This means your shots may show some digital "noise". Exposure is a constant, never ending juggling act of ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture but that's just photography for you. You might be able to get away with a 1/125 shutter speed but you'll have to experiment and find what works best under the exact circumstances you're shooting in.Now, another thing that needs to be considered is that as you focal length increases, everything else increases with it, including camera shake and the blurriness that can come with it. The rule of thumb for DX cameras like yours is to shoot at a shutter speed 1.5x as fast as your focal length. So, if you're shooting at 200mm, you want your shutter speed up around 1/350 or so. I actually prefer to double things so I'd want my shutter speed up around 1/400 or close it. Again, I'd have to balance that out against what ISO and aperture I'd have to use to maintain that shutter speed. Unfortunately, there are no cut-and-dried answers to these questions you have to learn to adjust and adapt to the circumstances as they present themselves.....</blockquote>
