[QUOTE="hark, post: 774128, member: 13196"] I have no clue what settings are available on a P900. But if the option to shoot RAW exists, I'd do that. I'd use Manual Mode with Auto ISO. Set the shutter to be faster than the length of the lens. For example, if you are shooting with a 50mm lens, then set the shutter to at least 1/60" for FX or 1/125" for DX. Choose an aperture to yield the type of depth of field you desire. Or if the light is pretty low, use a wider aperture. Use VR if it is an option. Use the +/- button to increase or decrease your exposure. For the boat, a faster shutter speed would be helpful. If VR is an option, choose the Sport VR instead of the Normal VR as Sport VR is specifically designed when the photographer is moving. If Manual Mode isn't an option, then you'd have to work in Aperture or Shutter Priority trying to stay close to the values I mentioned. If you only have Program Modes, sorry I cannot be of help since I've never used those. Will they allow a monopod or a small support base such as a PlatyPod? :confused: If you use a PlatyPod, then a cable release might be useful if the shutter speed is really slow. [/QUOTE]
