Hi.
I'm shooting blurry indoor and low-light outdoor pics of our toddlers playing.

I shoot in manual mode, have tried to tweak the iso, and iso sensitivity, aperture, shutter speed, etc. And only about 10pct of my photos/action shots are not blurry.

I shoot with a Nikon d850 and no flash.

Any camera setting suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Frustrated Dad

This is my first post. Soon after my daughter was born, 18 months ago, I decided to take the leap and purchase a DSLR. I shoot mostly landscape, interiors, and aerials, but do enjoy the occasional candid shots of my family. I have a speedlight, but don't know how to use it (ha! it's amazing how reading a manual is just not a priority these days), so I rely on natural light. I try to capture the essence of my daughter's innocence in a natural state. By now she is used to having a camera in her face and often likes to "ham it up". Here are three of my favorites. Critiques/comments/technique advice always welcome.
