Well sorta....
The 18-55 as stated is a "slow" lens meaning it does not take in much light. A lens like say my K 50mm F/1.2 is light sucking beast on the other hand
To compensate for this, the ISO must be bumped up thus resulting in a "grainy" image. Faster glass exist among other reasons for more low light capabilities. Of course, the price rises with the lowering of the number accompanying "F/"
btw. Learn to shoot in M mode
Personally I went with M mode immediately. I didn't want a bad picture to be the result of my camera's error but rather my own..... you get good this way
I see.
I've been using my Pentax K-r for about two weeks now, and since the second day I've been shooting in M mode
Thanks for your advice though.
