[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 97856, member: 10784"] Where I think you need to start is to look at the interaction of the 3 things that affect your exposure and how they affect each other... ISO - How sensitive the camera is to lower light (allows a faster shutter speed for action at the expense of quality depending on how high and ISO you run) f-Stop/Aperture - Lens opening .. larger number, smaller opening less light - smaller number is a larger opening allowing more light Shutter speed - Faster less light and stops action - slower is more light but easier to blur ----------------------- You need to look at all 3 as you plan a shot. Do you need more light??? Increase ISO, slow shutter and or open lens. This is very simplistic and you need to study and practice this to get a good understanding. You action is blurred? Increase shutter!! Not enough light for that, open the lens more and or increase ISO... Read your manual, check youtube for videos on exposure... study and practice! Hope this helps some... above all .. Enjoy! Pat in NH [/QUOTE]
