[QUOTE="zx7dave, post: 1501, member: 257"] Set the camera on full automatic and then look at the settings to see what the camera thinks you need as far as f/stop, shutter speed etc. Also in bright sun make sure your ISO is down to 200 or less. What your looking for is to see if your camera on auto is maxing out the shutter speed or f/stop..it it is then that is your hint to verify your ISO is set right. Even in very very bight sunlight you should be able to get a decent picture if your ISO is very low..and you shutter speed is very high and your f/stop is set high as well such as F22...then play around some to figure out if you need to adjust the F/Stop for the depth of field you are trying to achieve.
