Aperture was as quick as I could get it on the lens at that level of zoom. It was a balancing act of not getting too close and scared it away.ISO a bit high. Maybe look to get a bit more light through the lens. Play with your aperture a bit.

Would've been on Program mode most likely.That lens is a f4-5.6. Are you using auto mode? I'd suggest playing with speed and apeture in manual, with manual focus. Set iso at 200 or 400 to start with. Find something to photograph that has a bit of colour and shape, take a pic in auto and remember the settings, switch to manual and blaze away making 1 change of f-stop or shutter speed at a time and checking the result. It's a good way to learn what works for your particular camera/lens.
I know little of the 1200D, it entry level but should have more than enough functions to start pushing your lens to it's limit. Also a great way to learn how apeture affects depth of field.
I'm a lifelong Pentax user and I'm happy to plead ignorance of Canon's functions but there should be some kind of half/full stop exposure option.
1 piece of advice. Don't wind your zoom to it's stops, wind it back a touch and you will have a better image.
Thanks! Taken down at Phillip Island.Brilliant shot.
Lovely shot.
Heading over to Perth at Easter and will be hitting up Cottesloe Beach and Rottnest Island - hoping to take snag some good shots.Thanks! Taken down at Phillip Island.
55-250mm on my 1200D. The rule is no lens bigger than 200. So when asked at the gate I honestly answered it was a 55mm lens. I just didn't explain that it extended out bigger. Then some flog security guard inside the ground asked me about it too and I just pled absolute ignorance.Nice what lens? Think NAB Challenge would be a lot less strict. I was ok at the Wangaratta game, but obviously going to be tighter at Etihad.
