[QUOTE="Akiviri, post: 136389, member: 13536"] If you look inside the viewfinder, on the bottom right, you'll see - - - l - - + (or maybe the + sign is first I changed mine to what I'm used to) that is your meter. Watch how it changes as you change your shutter/aperture, and read your manual for more tips on how your camera works. Manual can be found online here: [URL]http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D5100_EN.pdf[/URL] or Spanish? [URL]http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D5100_ES.pdf[/URL] What you want to do is look at the shutter/aperture settings Auto used (Bottom left in the viewfinder), and then copy them while you learn what these things are and what they do. Set your ISO to a set amount (200 is default) and only change it when you need to, and then only as much as you need to in order to shoot handheld. Higher ISO = Higher noise beyond a certain point (each camera is different). [/QUOTE]
