[QUOTE="bluegrassman, post: 685550, member: 45802"] Thank you all very much. I think I failed to articulate what I was after, but several folks seemed to get that I couldn't understand why aperature priority worked so beautifully on my D3400 and essentially not at all (out of the box) on my D500. Obviously ignorance on my part, but thanks to those that stuck with me. Several suggested ISO, but when someone indicated that the D3400 likely was auto iso (at least out of the box), that made sense to me. Going and setting auto ISO got everything working as expected. I am sure there are tradeoffs and clearly I have a lot to learn and there are other things to factor in, but at least now, I have some mechanism to get sharp photos without a lot of manual intervention. I want to definitely continue to learn, but I was going crazy, having spent that much money and feeling like I couldn't do the thing that gives me the most relief from anxiety. I obviously have a lot to learn, but at least now I feel like I have some path forward. Thank you for the suggestions. With Respect, mattie [/QUOTE]
