Hey...So I posted previously asking about using features on my new DSLR (thanks for the kind replies)...

Now after learning about using different settings to prioritize either aperture, shutter lag, both, etc. I wonder how you determine which setting is best...

(Pardon my ignorence as I state these questions... )

Based on what I've learned, I can imagine that for example, if you are taking an action shot and want the blurred effect of movement, you would choose a slower shutter lag and smaller aperture for the picture...


In the event that you were taking a picture of a person where there was a busy background, you would want a larger aperture with a slower shutter lag...etc.

What other insight can anyone provide on how to choose the best settings for situations?

Is there a link to a site that I can read up on this or the name of a book you would recommend?

Thank you!
