Thanx you guys. I used the P Mode (Camera automatically sets the right exposure) and ISO 6400. Hand held. Used the 18 to 70 Zoom Lens Got. decent shots but not great.

I have a new a55 Sony and would like to know how to set my camera using a 75 to 300 Zoom lens. I'll be taking pics in a darkened auditorium from a far distance to the stage I'm thinking of using the P setting with a 1600 ISO, Is this the correct setting

I like the one in color. He looks like whatever he's eating is making him Blush.

A good all-around filter would be a Polorized High Definition Filter. It eliminates glare (i.e. off water ) but they are not cheap. I paid $96.00 for mine.

I have a Tiffen 49 mm UV Filter for sale. --- $9.95

I prefer A & D ---- Pwopo9

I have a Sony A100 which is 5 yrs. old so I decided to buy a Sony a55. I got it through Amazon for $745. (from Ritz) It's smaller, lighter and easier to navigate because it tells you all you need to know on the screen using the Menu and Fn buttons. It comes with a 18 to 55 zoom lens. My old Sony A100 had a 18 to 70 Zoom so I'm using that lens. I also have a 75 to 300 zoom. My a100 was made in Malaysia. My a55 and lens were made in Thailand. My 18 to 70 and my 75 to 300 were made in China,. It only has 1 wheel on top and the on -off control is around the shutter button. I only have it about 1 week so I can't give you any more details however I'm very happy so far. I'd like to sell my old Sony which still works great and am trying to get a fair price. Can you help.

Hello I'm pwopo9 and am new to this site. Can I ask you a question about my Sony a100?
