Hi all,
I am a newbie with a couple of questions with regards to my camera settings. Hope some guru can take time to enlighten me.
Have the following equipment setup:
- Canon EOS 500
- Canon Speedlite 420EX
- Sigma 28-200mm F3.8-5.6UC
Case 1:
- Using Full Automatic mode
- Shutter Speed is 1/90
- Aperture Value is 4.0
Case 2:
- Using Program AE mode
- Shutter Speed is 1/90
- Aperture Value is 4.0
Case 3:
- Using Av mode
- Shutter Speed is 3"
- Aperture Value is 4.0
Q1. Why is aperture 4.0 the lowest that I can go and not 3.8?
Q2. Why is it that using Av mode, my shutter speed is set at 3sec? That is too slow for handheld shooting right?
Q3. Will using my 420 flash give me better sharpness and picture quality than using the built-in flash?
many thanks,
