Monty,
cheers for the advice.
You know my camera type from above posts, but I have no idea what setting it should be on.
These are my uploaded photos:
http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=25772
the setting used for that is the 'action' setting, which is the one where the dude is running. that is the only way i know how to describe it
I used a setting titled "S" for the above photos, and i think it gives a 1/200 second exposure.
