Mike,

It's tough to diagnose your problem from the little bit of info you give...

Maybe you could be more specific about the camera settings you're using. What ISO? What file type capture? What auto mode? What flash mode?

Just off the bat, it sounds like you have the camera set to maybe its lowest ISO setting, which would be the digital equivalent of using a very SLOW speed film.

So, if you have the exposure mode on auto or aperture priority, the only way your camera can try to get the proper exposure in a low light scene would be by using a very slow shutter speed. This would be especially true if your lens is not that fast...

I'll be around tonight, so if you can give me feedback to my questions, maybe we can troubleshoot the thing BEFORE you need to leave tomorrow..

I have noticed that when i shoot in the dark, or low light settings, on the sports settings and a number of other settings, the shutter speed is really slow, and i cant seem to make it faster. Therefore in low light, even with external flash, my images come out blurry.

Is there anyway to fix this?


Any help is a step in the right direction.

Thanks in advance-

Mike
