[QUOTE="sam49, post: 111817, member: 12765"] Hi guys I have had a little time to test my D5100 outside today and the light was cloudy and overcast and I shot some test photos just down the street both on Auto and with Auto White balance, and some with the White balance set to cloudy. and I have not had time to have a look on my computer yet but looking on the camera the photos seems ok. On the Auto shots the ISO had set itself to 1600 and the shutter speed was 1/640 and f6.3 and with shutter priority I got 1/500 and f6.3 and 1/1000 and f3.5. After looking at the histogram said they were exposed just right. It seems to me I have a lot to learn about this camera in my 35 mm film days if I remember right the lens were faster and im sure my 55mm basic lens had the largest aperture of 1.8 or close to that I think. I might be wrong but are todays lenses not as fast. In my 35mm days you had to load a film with the ASA speed you wanted and that was it until you changed the film, you had to control the exposure with the aperture and shutter speed, So I presume that's the modern ISO is equivalent to the old ASA film speed im just not used to have this setting regards to you all for all the advice you have given me.
