Hi everyone, there are two problems with this picture. The first is that, somehow in the process of changing from my 24-70mm to my 70-200mm VR2 lens on my D500, the Qual button was pushed and the shutter speed dial rotated, changing my RAW+Fine to NORMAL I was nearly entirely through the shoot before I noticed this happened. It doesn't look like there's a way to lock this to prevent it from happening, so maybe this is just a tip for people to watch for.
Consequently, I only have the JPGs, but would RAW have helped anyway? Read on...
The other problem I have is the motion blur in the hand of the picture below, making the picture a little soft. This image was taken at f2.8 1/160th ISO 5000. It was near complete darkness, and I was shooting in manual, so I wanted to keep the ISO as low as possible, and the shutter as fast as possible, to reduce noise.
The little display of the D500 is very difficult to identify any real problems with a picture because it's so small (and my eyes are so bad). Do you have any tips for avoiding this motion blur problem in situations like this, or do you just err on the side of caution and increase the ISO and shutter speed?
The picture below was taken in darkness, with the exception of the field lights. I know the 1/160th isn't fast enough, but with ISO 5000, you can see the image is already falling apart, so increasing the shutter and ISO any further wouldn't have helped.
Clearly more light is likely the only solution in this example, but how can I tell in the field what the minimum shutter speed would be to avoid this motion blur, yet also keep the ISO as low as possible?
