[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 502817, member: 9240"] What shutter speed and ISO are you starting at, and what's the widest aperture on the lens you're using? Shutter Priority mode is going to try and set your aperture based on the speed and ISO, so on a bright sunny day if you're at 1/1000th and ISO 100 then you could be on the edge if your lens is in the f5.6 range at 200mm. I would recommend using Auto ISO so the camera will pick the lowest ISO required to get your shot. If you find that it's too high and you get more noise than you want then think about lowering the shutter speed. FYI, when shooting cooks in action sometimes having some motion in the hands/knives/tools can add to the shots, so shoot fast enough to freeze most, but not necessarily all action. [/QUOTE]
