Yup, Image Stabilization is ON.
Tri-pod sounds like a great idea!

I've used the sports setting while he was wrestling, it worked pretty good for the most part, but being an inside sport, and the flash doesn't work on that setting made for some dark pictures.

I know.... read the book....but I have the attention span of a gnat and get cranky when I don't find the answers right away.
But I WILL sit down and play around with it!
Good thing I still have a few months before I have to have this all figured out!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!
