[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 491948, member: 8635"] It is basically very easy. When I go out to shoot, 95% of the time I want to control the depth of field or how much will come out in focus so I place the camera in "A" or aperture priority mode and select the f stop that will give me what I want the picture to look like. Small depth of field with blurred out back ground = using smaller numbers such as F2.8, F3.5, F4. If I want more to come out in focus I use larger numbers such as F11, F16 or F22. The camera will do the rest. If I have a moving subject or I am using a longer lens I need to use "S" mode or shutter priority and set the shutter speed to 1/500, 1/1000 or maybe even 1/1500 to stop subject movement or camera shake. The camera will do the rest. At this point when you have either gone to "A" mode or "S" mode and made your choice all you need to do now is point at the subject and press the shutter button. You can do a lot more variables but this is basically how I shoot and works well for me. [/QUOTE]
