[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 554969, member: 6277"] My D750 FX is the king of low light and ISO 12800 is a stretch for it. With the D5?00 series I really would not go over ISO 3200 and only then if I absolutely had to Setting at 1/40 is not going to do you any favors at all unless you are shooting with a wide angle lens or at the 18mm end of the kit lens. You will get motion blur to some extent and your shot will not be sharp. The OP was shooting at 200mm and with that camera hand held he will need to shoot at 1/300 sec to 1/500sec as a minimum. I am not sure on that camera but many of the newer models have in the AUTO ISO settings for shutter speed there is a auto setting there that will automatically know what length lens you have and even know what zoom setting and it will set the minimum shutter speed correctly based on the length lens. This feature will save you a lot of grief when shooting. [/QUOTE]
