[QUOTE="pistnbroke, post: 130052, member: 9514"] oh dear more people trying to confuse the OP. There is no need to "play around" with settings ..The camera computer will do the playing around based on what I have suggested. First you need to go from a group of 4 people to a wedding ring finger without moveing your positon ..now you can do that with a fixed 50 mm lens can you? Forget Bokeh in this situation make sure you have the wedding party in focus. Also you must use AF-s mode ..single spot in the centre of the screen..focus on your centre of interest ..re frame and take 2-3 shots . Beware of shoot throughs ( focus is on a point between and behind the b and g) Note I said close THE curtain behind the Band G not close the curtains ....aargh Now I cannot see the loation but we could have setting sun comming in from a window behind the couple or a very high contrast situation...... no good. So say the the manager " I have cleared it with the bride and she is ok with me closing that particular curtain for the service" Now most managers are fine but if he/she is of the stroppy old school just say .. I have a contract with the bride to produce particular photographs . if you obstrut me and she complains it will be you spending a day in court explaining why you interfered.. they go down like a pricked baloon but if not you have it all recored on your body mic for use if neccessary later ... AS for flash the usual approach here is " where can I stand with a silent camera and no flash " most of the time you get lucky but they can say No ..or video only or stand at the back ..and if you take hundreds of shots during the service then flash at that rate is not the way to go . And if you dont take hundreds then you dont know your job. Now please please the OP with his new D3200 is getting his act together using the setting suggested which have worked for me hundreds of times so please dont fill his head with stuff more suited to photographing a flower. All information is given in the best interrest of the OP based on 30 years of wedding photography and intimate knowledge of the D3200 ...in the end its your wedding your friends ( to loose) . I shall not claim on my insurance or spend any time in court whatever you do ..... [/QUOTE]
