[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 491791, member: 16844"] Another way of making things simple is to go back to the old ways! Shoot in manual mode and treat your shots as if you were shooting film by using a set ISO (say 200) Now the decision is either: 1. Is my shutter speed important or 2. Is Depth of field my priority If 1 then adjust aperture until exposure is correct If 2 adjust shutter speed accordingly. In situations where this doesn't work ie where you want a fast shutter speed and a narrow depth of field then the ISO needs to be pushed up. In "film" days this meant changing to ASA 400 or faster or accepting a blurry photo. Have fun out there folks! [/QUOTE]
