    Help!

    Okay, I tried to take a team photo tonight to make copies for everyone on the team by Saturday. I used my 50mm lens with the following settings (I tried a bunch of things to get the color right. I'm not happy with the fuzzy picture. Back row is out of focus.

    I don't know if I can salvage this picture!

    I had my camera set originally to 1600 ISO but my camera changed it automatically.

    f 2.8
    1/60
    ISO 200
    exposure -1.3 step
    50mm

    I have a real problem with the exposure thing. On manual mode, the meter (I think that is what it is called) always shows lines either to the right or left of 0 and I don't know exactly how to fix this other than to adjust exposure. I don't know if I'm explaining it right.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions. I have Photoshop CS4 (another thing I don't really know how to use). I had Elements 6 and did very basic editing with levels.

    Thanks for any help
