I am a total noob. This is the first time I've ever posted to ANY forum, but I have some problems. Just got my D5100 and I haven't had any time to "play" yet. I 'tried' to record my daughter's high school play, but the video was all choppy and nasty. I'm shooting it on a tripod, but I have no idea about F's and apertures. I know a little about ISO--only to the extent that 100 is good for sunlight. Can someone tell me what to put my settings at just to get a halfway decent film? My daughter is a senior and this is her last play. They are going to have another performance tomorrow. I got the Nikon because I was tired of never having anything clear to look at. I am shooting from the back of the auditorium up in a little room where the lighting and sound are controlled. It's up high. I have an AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm lens that I thought would get that far away.
