I'm tripping on the sharp aspect. Should I change the mode on my camera to get the focus more even? Right now I'm trying to keep it on the eyes, but then around the edges seem blurry :-/

Mar 23, 2015 17:33 | #4 You were lucky to get a toddler holding still for 1/20 sec. A much faster shutter speed will help your keeper rate. Raise the ISO as needed. Raise your aperture value from f/4.5 to f/5.6 or more to increase the amount of her head that's in focus. Again, raise your ISO as needed.

sirquack Goldmember ![]() More info | Mar 24, 2015 11:16 | #7 Holy Moly. Those are great considering your shutter speed. The general rule is try to keep your shutter speed (SS) at the same as your focal length. So if you are shooting at 50mm, you will need at least 1/50th, and I am not familiar with the Nikon bodies, so if that is a crop, you would want a shutter speed a crop factor times the focal length. So for the rebel line which is 1.6 crop factor you will want at least (1.6X50) 1/80th. But to stop motion, you will sometimes need to go up. To stop motion of someone sitting, I usually try to aim for 1/100th. Name is Ron.
