I am going to shoot a grauation for my kids indoor, have Nikon D5000 with zoom 50-200 mm. Mostly I set the camera to M (on the left side) and select etither P or A mode as you recommended and set ISO to 400 or 800 and turn OFF the flash where I can take continious shots/frames. but the picture are not great eirther are dark or blured only when I use the ZOOM, but OK if i use the regular lens. Please advice on which setting using: ZOOM, INDOOR, DISTANCE > 30 Feet (lucky to find seet in the first 10 rows). Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon, graduation is this Sunday. Hi Nasim,

But in case you need to do sport or action photography, where motion freezing is crucial, do you recommend switching to shutter priority and risk depth of field? or gauge setting from aperture mode and change them by going to manual mode?

Help much appreciated. I have a really basic question: When I see the shutter speed indicating 8o on my Nikon D90, what does that really mean? Help much appreciated.

We are not aloud to use flash and I have tried many different things but it seems I keep getting blurry pictures where they are moving fast, not so much the body or face but hands and legs that are moving extremely fast when they are dancing. I was wondering what would be the best setting to use? Thanks!!

But, I am still having difficulty achieving a sharp image when I am shooting moving dogs outside. I am shooting with a Canon 60D in Aperture Priority mode with a fast 85mm f1.8 lens set between 2-3. I have the iso set at 100 or auto iso. Is the problem me? It is impossible to use a tripod when photographing moving dogs. I believe the equipment is in working order as I have been able to shoot sharp images with the set up. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. Hi,

If you need to go higher than that, your only option is to use Nikon flashes or wireless triggers that support high-speed sync (like the new pocketwizards).
