But if the camera is on AF doesn't it automatically set the shutter speed relevant to the subject being photographed? How does one override this if my assumption is correct? As you can see \I'm very much a beginner and am still in the process of learning how to handle my camera and what it can do. ---------- Post added 02-16-15 at 02:17 PM ----------
In a nutshell I set the camera on AF and shoot. Nothing more than that.

I have been given a Pentax K-x together with a Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 lens. I am a relative newcomer to photography and want to specialise in football (soccer) shots. However those that I've previously taken are not really sharp. As a general rule of thumb I set the camera to ISO 6400 on AF and also use a monopod.
I am still getting to learn tyhe way around my camera and always shoot everything on AF. I would appreciate any advice on improving the quality and sharpness of my pics and advice on what settings to use during daylight anf under floodlights.

Thanks Ari. Will do what you suggest as the camera is more than a few years old anyway.

I recently bought a Pentax ist DS2 camera body from ebay sight unseen. Upon receipt of the body there was a noticeable tobacco odour coming from it :fedup:. Is there a way that I can rid the body of the offensive smell:hmm:

How do you switch from ther viewfinder to the LCD monitor on the istD S2? :hmm: On my K-x you simply press the LV button but above the INFO button. However the istD S2 came without a user manual and despite trying to find a solution to my problem on the Internet I can't find one anywhere. Can anyone help me please? :o
