[QUOTE="J-see, post: 354829, member: 31330"] The shutter speed is indeed the 1/2500 part. ISO is your sensitivity to light and the shutter is the amount of time you let light in. The higher the shutter speed, the less light your sensor gets. If you lower the shutter speed, you can lower the ISO which normally makes for better images. The higher the ISO, the more grainy but often you only notice when zooming in on the photo. It's usually best to try and go as low as possible with ISO. You have to toy with it to see what works best. For dogs I generally use 1/500s unless they're playing rough. Then I go up to 1/1000s. If they're not moving much, you can go down to a shutter speed at which you can comfortably take a picture. 1/60s or even less if you got a steady hand. Remember, aperture also plays a role. The moment you change that, you may have to compensate it. [/QUOTE]
