Subject too dark

Magandang Hapon po mga ka CGP . Ask lang po sana ako ng tulong kung pano po ang gagawin kong settings para mawala yung pop up message na "subject too dark" sa slr camera. Ano ano po bang settings ang dapat kong galawin para masolusyunan ito . Kasi po pag nagtake ako ng shot naging blurry cia at hindi crispy ang dating ng pictures. Gamit ko po ay nikon d3100 na camera.Sana po ay mabigyan niyo ako ng tips ukol dito kasi po baguhan pa lang ako pagdating sa pag gamit ng slr na camera. antayin ko po ang mga reply.Salamat po ng marami and more power.

jack up the iso
use a lens with a wider aperture (1.8)

1. set your camera to auto ISO, (set max ISO to 1600). if you are not happy with the noise, bring it down to 800 at least.

2. if you are shooting people, set aperture to f1.8 to f2.8 for headshots, f5.6-f8 naman pag full body or group shots. if your subject is too far then f8-f16 for more depth sharpness.

3. set the shooting mode to shutter priority, dial to 1/30sec (that's my minimum setting for shooting people, subjective whether you have stable hands).

4. take a test shot. if exposure is good then try increasing the shutter speed (e.g. 1/50, 1/100sec) to improve sharpness.

it would help to learn how to use your in-cam exposure meter (+......0......-), metering modes (whether matrix, centre-weighted, or spot), histrogram preview, highlights preview. these are essential tools for nailing down your desired exposure.

happy shooting!
