[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 95968, member: 3903"] OK, I'll try to answer but it could be difficult since I don't know exactly what your camera settings are. First, in your camera shooting menu, "iso settings", is auto iso enabled? I suspect this could be the problem with the bird picture. If you go into iso settings menu, you'll find that you can specify up to what iso your camera will automatically go to in order to maintain a minimum shutter speed. So, if you are shooting in aperture mode and you specify f8, the camera will automatically set the iso up to (what is specified in the iso setting menu) in order to maintain a faster shutter speed. You could turn this option off to gain more control, but be aware that in low light situations, you could end up with blurred shots because of too slow shutter speeds. For the newspaper picture, I think this is only a case of incorrect metering. Whenever shooting a white subject (newspaper), you have to adjust exposure compensation since the meter is trying to make the white grey. Same thing for a snowy scene or a beach. Hope this helps.
