As long as it sits still.... I'm okey,
but if it moves... boy... blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. -O -O

With the AF, I had no problem doing movement, but it is tricky getting it right manually.. :-?

Amoli, try using a lower F stop, say F4 if you have it or F5.6, it will help increase your shutter speed. \O If you have sunlight on the feeder, increase the F stop to F8, but otherwise try for the lowest your lens will allow.

ISO on newer model cameras is less "noisy" than on older models, so for now, try setting the ISO to 400 or 500. (lowest setting gives better results). Or if your camera allows, try Auto ISO for a few of your shots and compare the difference.

Great \O

I took a few pics this afternon (of the doves =O: ) with F stop 5.0 and ISO Auto. It gave me a shutter speed of 500.
I will quickly take a few pics on your suggested settings and then download to compare.

I really feel I have learnt something. Thanks to all. O:V
