[QUOTE="nickt, post: 701961, member: 4923"] Not real small, just slightly stopped down for many lenses. Test your lens, take some shots of a soda can or some distant sign. Find your sharpest aperture by how well you can read the text on the sign. You don't always have to shoot at that sweet spot, but good to know your sharpest aperture so you can choose it when there is plenty of light. You can also use this distant sign practice to find YOUR minimum shutter speed. Its good to know how slow you personally can get reliable handheld shots at a given zoom and shutter speed. To Brent's point, auto iso can be confusing. In my opinion, its fine to leave on in P mode, but you probably should turn it off when trying other modes. I love auto iso, I often shoot in manual mode with auto iso. But as you first venture off of P mode, turn it off so you can better get a feel for how your camera behaves. Once you are 100% comfortable with how shutter, aperture and iso relate, you can introduce auto iso to the mix. It can be helpful or it can be a pain. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
