[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 201595, member: 6277"] Welcome to the forum [COLOR=#3e3e3e]If you fill out your profile[/COLOR] we can better answer any questions that you might have. You can do that at [url]http://nikonites.com/profile.php?do=editprofile[/url] Some useful links [url]http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13948/~/nikon-product-manuals-available-for-download[/url] [url=http://www.nikondigitutor.com/index_eng.html]Nikon | Imaging Products | Digitutor[/url] Thanks I have been shooting high school football games here recently and have learned a few things. First the field is not as bright as it looks. Here is a good place to start. Shoot in the [B]Shutter priority[/B] mode Set shutter speed to [B]1/250 [/B] Set ISO to minimum of I[B]SO400 and max of ISO3200[/B] This way your shutter speed will always be fast enough to stop the action. No blurry photos. You will get some noise but the noise is the price you have to pay to get the photos. After you shoot a few look to make sure they are doing what you want them to do. Here are a few from the last game I shot. [url]http://nikonites.com/project-365-daily-photos/11298-dons-daily-dabblings-76.html#post201163[/url] If they are still not good or to dark you may need to raise the maximum ISO to ISO6400 you will have to make the call to see if that is to noisy for you.
