[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 569368, member: 29446"] The 400D has several auto picture modes, like portrait and landscape, but the big one's you'll probably end up using are M(Manual), TV(Shutter Priority - Everything is auto but shutter speed), and AV(Aperture Value - Everything is auto but the aperture) Also, once you start learning about exposure and how the camera settings work, then you'll be able to use this little bit of info. Generally, the lowest acepted shutter speed that can capture an image that won't be affected by camera shake is going to be equal to the focal length you're shooting at. Some one mentioned keeping it at higher than 60, but if you're using the kit lens (18-55) and have it "zoomed out" all the way, the focal length will by 18mm. You'll want to used a shutter speed faster than 1/18 of a second. If you're using a zoom lens that zooms to 200mm and you have it zoomed out all the way, you'll want to use a shutter speed faster than 1/200 of a second. There's factors that can affect those numbers, like whether or not the lens has IS (Image Stabilization), so it's just a general rule. [/QUOTE]
