Guest Nov Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 What mode did you have the camera set on when taking the second pic HERE The blurred image is down to a slow shutter speed because of poor light conditions. You can counter this by increasing the ISO setting (ISO is how sensitive the sensor is to light), this is useful when shooting in wooded areas or at dusk. If you increase the ISO to say 400, this should increase the shutter speed (make faster) resulting in a sharper image. You can only do this in the creative modes, so get off that fecking automatic green box mode Also, it may be useful to nominate the central dot as your focal point, this will avoid focusing on branches in the foreground etc. You can do this by pressing the button with the + magnifying glass on it and turning the wheel until only the centre dot is illuminated. Once again, you need to be in the creative modes (all settings above the green box). AV is a good setting, turn the wheel left till you reach the lowest number, which is the widest aperture (hole in the lens ), this lets more light through, thus giving a faster shutter speed. Lesson two tomorrow, I'm off to bed Any questions Ian, put them here and I'll answer them tomorrow, if I know the answer that is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pan.handle Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Ian you could leave the exp set to 1000th/sec if you're comfortable taking action shots at that speed, to achieve more depth of focus in your pics just up the ISO.........changing ISO is something you should become comfortable with as you'll need to do it often in the season (less available light) lets see some of pics all the best pan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
