[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 88698, member: 753"] It looks like you were fairly close with a 62 mm focal length and you're already shooting at ISO 1600, are you shooting in auto iso mode or do you have it set, I would suggest setting it manually if you're not already doing so. Not sure which lens you are using but if you can open it up to f3.5 you'll get a tad more light but you'll still need more since 1/80 isn't fast enough shutter to stop (freeze) the action. You may still need faster glass like one that stops to f1.8, that will allow you to get the shutter speed up. A prime lens like a 50mm f1.8 or a 85 f1.8 may be what you need as long as you can get close. That 2 stops will go a long way in solving your problem. [/QUOTE]
