Hi Nasim,

Thank you for the great explanations on well, everything!

There is one thing I am wondering though…
Do you use Auto ISO or Manual ISO when in Aperture Priority Mode (or P/S/M modes for that matter)?

You have posted some excellent pics in your Shutter Speed section. What ISO did you use for the dolphin, the waterfall and the second pic of the Caspian Tern (with water splash)?

Hi Nasim,
i have recently bought a D7000 and a 28~300 VR lens, i am using Apeture priority , but i still cannot get a nice picture. you have mentioned if i set the apeture the camera will choose the right settings, but i get darker picture. the exposure has issue, i need to manually increase the exposure level based on the F level i set. what mistake am i making?
thanks
Niles

Hi Nasim,

I have a Nikon D300s and I would like to know and understand how depth of field preview button works. Can you give me a walkthrough on this. I tried searching through the internet and I don’t see any guides on how this function works. Even the manual does not explain the functionality. I really want to utilize this camera function but I need some help. Im using a 35mm 1.8G DX lens.

Thanks in advance

Thanks… I’ve been experimenting in Manual but think the Av mode might work well for me when I’m shooting in certain settings.

Feedback on my images is welcome… oh and also am upgrading from my Canon T1i and have the opportunity to get an EXCELLENT deal on the 5d Mark II w/ the 24-105 L series lens. Thoughts??? Could get similar for 7d (education pricing – being a teacher has extra perks sometimes!).

Hi Nasim. Thanks for these tutorials, they are the most informative and easy to understand instructions I have read. I will definitely stop using the P mode so much with my Nikon D40x since I have had trouble with low lighting conditions in my church. With A mode and what I have read here I believe now I can get the best shots in those conditions possible.
