Yep, thanks! It makes perfect sense. The only thing is, some of your suggestions I'd have to do in complete Manual mode, but I'm not completely up for that yet (especially not in fast action shots ). I do plan to play with the Manual mode with still objects, but we'll see how that turns out. I do have ISO 1600 but I was worried that such a high ISO would make it grainy. (Would it??)

I worry a lot!

So the gist of it is: bump up the shutter speed and allow more light. Got it
