Thanks Larry. So I am to assume when its dusk, and I need flash or it's way too dark to get the kids playing that even in manual and shutter priority I am not capable of going over 200 and they are bound to end up blurry &/or if I don't use flash they will be much to dark.. got film them earlier in the day I guess!
As for these pics, shutter speed wasn't a problem but they were too noisy which according to these smart folks is because I underexposed which is either because it was too late in the day & I didn't adjust my settings or because I have no clue how to read the exposure.
Generally speaking, a flash will freeze action so you need not worry about that. If your photos are blurry with flash, you may have missed focus in the dim light since many auto-focus systems fail without good light and contrast.... or you had camera movement..
As to the second question.. It would depend on how your are "reading exposure".. Most photogs today don't really shoot "manually", they simply look at the exposure in the viewfinder and align the needle to the mark by turning the dial... Here again, if you want a certain shutter speed, say 1/500, in M, you set that first as a known... you then watch the meter until your adjustment of Aperture aligns to the proper exposure mark.. In Manual, the camera may not recognise your +.3 EC as that is a function of one of the automatic settings... you would need to align the exposure needle to +.3 when you are manually setting aperture..
