[QUOTE="boofhead, post: 504719, member: 40970"] thanks again everyone. My Auto ISO was set to off, I've switched that functionality on and will play around some more-- a test photo I took seemed to work but now I need to practise with the same action shots. I went to my event on the weekend, before I turned on Auto ISO. I mostly used A mode (and those photos are okay) but played around in S mode. When I was indoors I took photos of speakers in three modes (A, S and auto-no-flash). The best results were the auto. A mode was okay but they weren't sharp. S mode however resulted in really dark images. I changed ISO values and shutter speeds based on advice I'd read and what information my course provided but again the images were very dark and of course noisy (awful looking) with the high ISO. The day is a bit of a blur now but I made sure to to try the S mode guideline settings my photography teacher gave us (which is also what I've read in photography advice articles). Again, dark photos :( But now that I have Auto ISO switched on, I will try to get the same kinds of shots and compare. Thank you for all your help! [/QUOTE]
