[QUOTE="hark, post: 718887, member: 13196"] Gishy, ISO 800 is way too low for birds. If that bird flies off, you will want a fast shutter speed (maybe 1/1200" to 1/2000") to capture the bird without blurring it plus a usable aperture that shows some depth to the image. When you are shooting on the long end around 500mm, your depth of field will be pretty shallow. So f/6.3 to f/9 would be the ballpark I'd suggest. The thing is when you use these apertures and shutter speeds, your ISO has to be high enough to compensate for a properly exposed image. My bodies are either capped at Auto ISO 5000 or 6400. When you reach your max (capped) ISO, and if you require additional exposure, your images will appear underexposed once you hit your limit. For stationary birds, just lower your shutter speed to one that is fast enough for hand holding. [/QUOTE]
