Av mode is best for fixed aperture lens
70-200mm f/2.8 L

normal lens with range of aperture is pretty useless
because when u zoom you cannot retain a constant largest aperture

hehe, and sometimes, av mode will give you super slow shutterspeed, so watch out.

haha eg kit lens

u play with max zoom f/5.6


try to shoot in 1/2 hehehe

a little tip from me, the setting i usually use for indoor is TV coz i'll set it to 1/60 or 1/100 and let the aperture run itself, at least at this setting ur picture won't be blur coz of movement.ISO will set at 200-400 depends how much light u need. even sometime a picture with noise is better than a blur picture. another way is setting low ISO and play with exposure maybe +1, need to play around with it.

as for AV i will usually use for outdoor, the light that comes in doesn't matter anymore on outdoor coz the shutter speed will always be set high and the picture won't be blur.here can adjust ur aperture to your need, blur background or flat picture. as for ISO usually i will set 100 - 200. this also depends if ur under a tent it will be darker so 400 is still ok.

hope this helps!

thanks everyone(shinchan,g3k,zadan), note down already. yup i notice when used Av mode, the shutter speed keep on changing, so i used a option '*' to fix the shutter then shoot , but sometime have to try few time to get the correct shutter speed , coz sometime too dare sometime to bright. Just bought 50mm f1.8 , will try out to shoot portrait, hehehe

Now I will comment : Seems like you've getting the drift of composition and getting the hand of shooting with available light. Pretty good perspective in some of the images but you will need to work out your handholding during those lower shutter speed moments. Keep your eye on your viewfinder and read all available information i.e shutter speed and aperture settting and adjust them accordingly.

thanks for your comment, still got alot need to learn from you.
i tried to study infomation on the view finder, but still not understand, like when i try to take pic with object hanging under the sun , the object become very dark, try few settings also fail.
somethings to ask , i try to take portrait at very low light place , why the auto focus fail to focus on face, izzt coz of face too dark and no light ? and what can i do ?

You're staying in Sri Gombak right? No need to say anything ... it's yumcha time already

You seriously have to learn up your handholding, you're very unsteady even during daytime. Your focusing is there I know but you either moved up and down or back and forth
