[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 600705, member: 27043"] When you set the camera to A it's slowing down the shutter speed to compensate for the lack of light. When you use Tv (Shutter priority) you can choose the shutter speed, and the camera will automatically open the aperture to it's max in dim lighting, so I recommend you stick with TV. The first question is, what ISO is the camera using? That's why setting auto iso and it's max are so important. If your camera is limited to a low ISO, your photos will be dark. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHQkF9iZD4E[/URL] Theres a quick video on how to set Auto ISO. I'd start with a max ISO of 6400. Slow your shutter speed down to say 1/200 using TV and take a test shot. Shooting in lowlight with an APS-C Sensor camera and a slow lens is going to be pushing things to the limit - so from there it becomes a balancing act. Keep in mind however that if the photos are too dark they can be adjusted in post or you can also use EC - exposure compensation, on the camera. [/QUOTE]
