[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 328851, member: 15675"] The next thing to following here is that it will influence your depth of field. One issue with a wide aperture is low depth of field, so you might only see one person sharp when taking a picture of 2 persons. You need to find your own system, I tend to use: 1) what is the light situation => what ISO do I set 2) what depth of field do I need => aperture setting 3) what shutter speed does this lead to => do I need a tripod (flash) or review lens, ISO and aperture, for the scene (VR, speed of subject, etc...) I use this in 2 cases: 1) in certain set-ups (macro lens with extension tubes) the camera systematically underexposes, to compensate this I use exposure compensation 2) some landscape scenes are wrongly exposed (not for the subject) due to a bright sky or a dark forest around it The alternative is using the manual settings and allowing over or underexposure manually. You might want (for artistic reasons) to blow out the background, etc... [/QUOTE]
