Way to go Suzi! Shooting some manual . A tip for on the go people shots in manual is to select pre-select shutter speed and meter the exposure off something mid-tone in the same light, such as grass. Unless the light changes just keep shooting away.

So, LInda, I should put it on the Tv mode, select shutter speed , point at the grass for metering? Now how do I get it to keep that metering it I move the camera around.
Or do I go to manual after I get the shutter speed and aperature and set those values in??? As you can tell I am lost here.

Suzi, that's one approach. You could also choose Tv and your shutter speed, point at the grass, press the exposure lock, re-frame your picture and shoot.

I have seen the Tv selection on my new XSi, but I am having a real hard problem getting DishNetwork to work on the LCD screen of my camera! I have yet to learn how to get all the satellite channels to come in!
I have found the video output location, but I have not yet found where the video INput is!

Charles, I figured out how to get that Tv mode to work!

Not much choice of channels - still working on that.....
