No thats makes sense i suppose, i just tend to use m with auto iso for birding and set the apature and shutter speed which is normally around the 500th sec mark.
which i would of thought would be better for sport but i suppose if you set the minimum shutter speed it wont go lower than you want so that could be handy. thanks
just had a tinker on both 300 and 700, on the 700 i set to min shutter speed of 100th sec, got 28-70mm on and it just stayed at 100thsec no matter what i did and trys to keep the iso as low as possible instead of uping the iso which i have a max of 12800(is that right)
on the d300 set min shutter speed to 400th sec, Have 50-500mm os on and max iso 1600, but it will go lower than the min shutter speed set(is that right) sorry just never used a mode
