great advice StevenA thank you, changed setting like you said to AF-C (and yes had to use P) and last night was taking photos of cricket match and it has made a huge difference!!! Now all i need to sort out are the indoor photos....fine in home but in clubhouse/halls i have trouble!!!

Exactly that!!

Thank you for your replies....im going to try changing the focus mode 1st as suggested by StevenA. Is there a 'separate' flash to buy for the D40??? Really appreciate all your input as i really know nothing about the 'technical' side of photography X

haha Nawty no I don't do weddings :lol: I take photos of football matches (mainly)and the pace is so quick I need a quick focus and continous shoot in order to get a few decent shots from the hundreds i take!!....I think some practice is in order for me :thinking:

Thanks for the reply chivers67...i have the 35-55mm that came with the camera and I also have the 55-200mm. Is there another lens that would recommend?? This may sound even more dumb but can I autofocus and when it focuses switch to manual and it will still be in focus???

I am using a Nikon d40...most of my photos are taking outside (i take mainly sporting photos) but on occaisions there are indoor events/presentation evenings..when i shoot outside i can keep my finger down for a continuous shoot but when indoors it doesnt work??? I havent changed any settings...

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello! Im Pippa and am looking to get lots of advice to help make my photos better!! I am a novice who is using a Nikon d40 at the moment and although I love it...I need to learn much more about it.
