[QUOTE="Rawfocus, post: 119810, member: 13129"] Cheers for the briefing and thanks to all for contributing. I'm on my phone so will keep this one short :) I get the idea of shutter speed, probably the simplest thing to understand. I understand that aperture equates to being the "eye" of the camera and what I gather is that infact the wider the eye the more the area around the subject is blurred. The one I know little on is iso. Function wise I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to auto focus, which when doing self takes or shooting fast moving objects is pretty important. So the d3100 has 12 points of focus, but in the instance of shooting a self take of me with a fish would it be recommended to use just a single point autofocus (as opposed to auto area or multi)? Just to make you aware, the fish are still alive and well after they are caught.they are also valuable to those that own them, hence I need to get my perfect shot done within a minute or so! cheers [/QUOTE]
