[QUOTE="Dave_IL, post: 346716, member: 30481"] My wife shoots with the D7000. We were on a 17' fiberglass powerboat (e.g. moving a little), and she was photographing a sailboat race (e.g. moving subjects). When reviewing one of her photos that she would have liked, she saw that one boat/crew was in focus and the other blurred (depth of field issue). To understand, we reviewed the parameters, which were: ISO800, f6.3, 1/2500sec, 170mm (lense was VR 18-200). Here is the question: The "Auto" shooting mode obviously selects shutter speed and f-stop, but why would it fix f6.3 (limited depth of field) and take shutter speed way up higher than really ever necessary? Does anyone on the forum understand the "Auto" feature well enough to explain? Later she tried to shoot at a shutter speed of 1/250sec but then her Auto Focus mode somehow changed and she had a lot of out of focus photos. We have reviewed the manuals and can find no explanation. HELP! Dave in IL [/QUOTE]
