It's got the following settings that I can adjust: 1/200 (not sure what that is, but I know I can change it), F stop & ISO. Can you give me the dummy's guide to what settings might work for me?
Based on what I learned in this thread, choose an ISO setting of 200 (or 100 if you have good lighting). You also want a fairly fast shutter speed - 1/200 is the shutter speed and that is real fast. Most of my pics now are around 1/60 - but I let my camera pic the Fstop and shutter speed (for now)
