[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 735529, member: 24569"] There is no correct answer. :) You need enough shutter speed to prevent blur, and you just need to let the ISO go where it needs to go to get the shot. Very low light and a moving subject just means use the slowest shutter you can get away with. I think I have auto ISO set to 12800 max, which results in a lot of noise, obviously. The alternative is to not get the shot, though, so it is what it is. I often try to take a bunch of shots with a slower shutter speed, waiting for a pause in motion, and hope for the best. Bird in flight means at the very slowest 1/1000 IME, and that's if you pan perfectly. [/QUOTE]
