I have had a bit of a re-think about using my camera on program mode. On many of my trips out I have the Sigma 150-600mm<\/a> lens on and my camera seems happy to try to use what I would consider slow shutter speeds. On my recent outing to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, for some of the time, I decided to set the shutter to 1\/500s and aperture to f:8.0 or 1\/250s at f:11 and let the camera choose the ISO for exposure. With my previous cameras I would probably not do this because the quality at higher ISO was poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the photo above the camera selected ISO100 which is the slowest it goes. If the sun had been any brighter the image would have been over-exposed. This means that in future I need to keep an eye on the exposure guide or I need to have another re-think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can set a minimum shutter speed for the camera which involves going into the menus but when I am shooting at 17mm it is silly to limit to 1\/500s or faster. Perhaps this is another use for the custom settings on my camera? Or perhaps I simply need to get into the habit of using partial manual settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
