[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 416620, member: 16844"] It sure didn't get any easier today. I took over 90 photos and binned every single one. Shutter priority Minimum shutter speed 1/400 (using the 70-300mm with 1.4XTC) as i was shooting horses at a polo game. Eventually pushed the shutter speed up to 1/500 which was a bit better. ISO was set to Auto. In most shots the aperture was at 5.6 and never exceeded 8 so light should not have been a problem. I have no idea why the ISO got up as high as 1600 on a very bright day or why my shots were pure crap. My photos were grainy and out of focus. I feel I have gone backwards BIG TIME so it is back to the drawing board for me. What a bummer. :( [/QUOTE]
