[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 600815, member: 3903"] One thing you must understand is that photography depends on LIGHT. When there isn't enough light, you have to open the shutter for a longer period of time. This is what brings the blurriness of dancers. There is nothing to do with the lack of light except using a flash. But the camera's inboard flash is probably not strong enough for the distance between camera and subject. It's a bit unfortunate that sometimes people expect professional results without knowing the bases of photography. Exposure triangle is composed of: Amount of light<Aperture<shutter speed. These 3 are inter-related and when there isn't enough of one, the others suffer. So I'm really sorry to have to break the bad news, but I think you will have to experiment a bit more before you come up with the results you were hoping for. There are ways to use flashes triggered by the on-board camera flash, but you have to set them up in advance or have an assistant hold them in place for you. Since we don't know exactly what kind of "dancers" you are trying to photograph, it is almost impossible to give you a miracle recipe. Enjoy your Nikon. [/QUOTE]
