<p>Thank you Robin. I may be slowly getting there. I can't find a 12,800 ISO. I am not sure what the settings are with the numbers above it. As I stated I am a complete novice. I did find that in a gym with more light I was able to increase shutter and decrease ISO. I had one decent shot using 1/500 with ISO of 6400 which was pretty good but not as clear as I would like.</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you Andy and Craig. I have received several great tips from the PN members.<br> It makes me all the more anxious to try them out. I do note that when I first look at the shots in my view finder they look great, but when zooming in is when I notice the graininess. <br> I am not sure why I was thinking 3200 would be far too grainy. I also thought that 2.8 would be far better due to low lighting as opposed to the 3.2 that Chet suggests. <br> I can see there certainly isn"t one set standard. Although, a friend of mine (who's brother is a photographer) set her Canon at a basic programmed setting for her so she would be already set up for the games.<br> Again,<br> Thank you!</p>

I am anxious to apply everyone's advice at the next game. Thank you to all. I did look at your beautiful photos Len Marriott. I should be so lucky. I may not make it down to a game this week but next week for sure. I will post my findings. Again, thank you.

<p>As a novice, I really need some advice shooting school basketball games. My photos are really grainy. I have a Nikon D7000 with a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 lens. I have fiddled around with different settings to no avail.<br /><br />Can someone please advise me in layman's terms the settings I should use? I also have no idea which settings I should use on optical stabilizer on the lens. Any help would be appreciated.<br> The photo that I posted to my gallery has the following settings. <br> <img src="webkit-fake-url://7426a824-e53d-4146-b3a7-a1503d0d3b61/image.tiff" alt="" /></p> <p> </p>

I have fiddled around with different settings to no avail.<br /> <br /> The photos I took yesterday had a shutter speed of 400 and ISO of 1600. I was using the Shutter mode. I also have the ISO sensitivity control off. I shoot in JPEG and have no desire to use RAW<br /> <br />Can someone please advise me in layman's terms the settings I should use?
