[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 549591, member: 8330"] You should look into the exposure triangle to get an idea of how a camera works. Essentially the sensor needs X amount of light to get a proper exposure. You can control the amount of light by the duration that the shutter stays open (shutter speed), the amount of light that is allowed in DURING that shutter opening (aperture) and finally the sensitivity of the sensor itself (ISO). ISO, aperture and shutter are what makes up the exposure triangle. They work in conjunction together to give you a proper exposure. So in your case you need a faster shutter speed to "freeze" the action. But the faster the shutter affects the other two parameters. If those two parameters (in this case aperture and ISO) cannot compensate for the shorter shutter duration then your shots will look dark or under exposed because the sensor simply isn't getting enough light. Thus begins the quest for the camera setup that gives you "more"... i.e. faster shutter speeds, better ISO performance and larger apertures all while delivering good optical quality and good dynamic range. That's sort of it in a nutshell. Learning the exposure triangle and how each parameter effects the other will help you understand it a little more. [/QUOTE]
