Pesto thanks for the great info about depth of field. I had not seen it that way before. LaWanna, I think you have something with the aperture priority. I've been shooting full manual - AI servo, continuous, 1/350 or 1/500 at f/1.8 or 2 ISO 800 or 1600 depending on where I am in the gym for basketball pictures. I have got pretty quick at judging and changing the ISO and aperture in the gym. This really abrupt change from room to room (and I was in the middle in the hallway trying to be discreet and get good candids) made me insane! This side of the family seems to act weird when a camera comes out. They can't seem to go on being themselves. It seems they get irritated! Pesto, I did go to RAW and I like it a lot better! I'm using Biddle Lite and that is awesome. I don't think a speedlight will help me in this situation because I will be the enemy Big Time if I was to flash while the game is going. I am adding speedlight to my wish list, though!

Thanks again for the help!
