[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 365293, member: 13090"] Here's what I suggest... Set your camera's metering mode to "Spot". Use "A"perture Priority mode. In the Shooting Menu (Camera icon) on your camera, go to "ISO Sensitivity Settings" and click right one time. In this menu set the following: ISO Sensitivity: 100 Auto ISO Sensitivity Control: ON Maximum Sensitivity: 6400 Minimum Shutter Speed: Either select "Auto" and click right once and move the slider over one notch towards "Faster" if your camera has this option, or select "1/125 s" Spot Metering will insure what you are focusing on will be properly exposed. The Auto ISO settings will allow you to set your aperture and will then automatically increase the ISO as much as necessary to keep your minimum shutter speed at, or above, 1/125 of a second which is enough shutter speed to stop a certain amount of motion and camera blur. These settings not perfect, but they should do you pretty well. If your shots are coming out too dark or too light, use your Exposure Compensation button to make quick and easy adjustments to get the correct exposure or try switching back to Matrix metering and see how that works out. You're probably going to need a relatively wide aperture but it's impossible to say without being there what the shots are going to require. This is a difficult shooting situation and there are no "Magic Recipes" of camera settings we can tell you to dial in to consistently nail the shot; you're going to need to try things, see what works and be flexible.
