[QUOTE="D3200, post: 96103, member: 12000"] I am starting a second post to continue because the previous became too long. The photos look good from tripod but some can not be repeated properly handheld because of the long exposure time. I am sorry, maybe because I did not explain my lens details you may think that I am with the kit lens. I am with 18-200 VR DX. I am not aware of the full capabilities of this lens but expected it to be the same or a little better than kit lens. I have used the auto ISO in the initial test /not in the last photos/ just to see the camera capabilities and get some first impressions. Now in the last photos I am using the Fn button and the dial to set it manually and have disabled Auto mode in the menu. That third piece of the exposure triangle is causing me headaches. I am using F8 because I want prefer wider depth of field. The newspaper photos and the big set of photos is just for illustration of the low speeds. I take photos mostly outdoors. When there is enought light /I have not had a good opportunity with this camera yet/ I would expect it to perform excellent / it is quite a decent camera for its money and I kind of like the comparatively low noise level that it produces up to ISO 1600 with so many megapixels/ and that is why I am trying to improve low light ISO or to find what is the problem. I will have to research the aperture size additionally, maybe I am missing something with this lens. I am mostly interested to improve ISO in low light condition /if it is possible/ during daytime when there is not enough light for example foggy weather, rain, cloudy, etc. The photos I am presenting were to show my point about the speed. The thing is that I am thinking that it starts increasing exposure so steep that I have to apply ISO above 3200 which I believe starts introducing more noise. And the thing is that I would like to take handheld photos /sometimes you don't have time to set a tripod, it is not convenient, etc./. [/QUOTE]
