I am going to my niece's baptism this weekend and I want to take some pictures.
What settings should I use inside of a church? and outside of the church.
The baptism's going to be at 12:00pm.

Thanks

What camera do you have?

IBTNikon

Yes, it's a Nikon D3000 and I only have a 18-55mm lens.

 

[wardzach2007]

Do you have a detachable flash?

 

[arman14]

No I don't

 

[wardzach2007]

What's the F stop on your 18-55? Is it above 3?

 

[arman14]

F3.5-5.6

 

[wardzach2007]

F3.5-5.6

If you have enough light then it will still be tricky for indoors.

I hate using the on camera flash because it sucks. But if you're doing it for memories, I would just use it.

If you were getting paid for it, I would rent a flash.

I'm not getting paid
Should I shot in auto?

If you want to shoot in Auto go ahead but your outcome may lack a good outcome.

I wouldn't.

How dark is it going to be inside?

How dark is it going to be inside?

I have no idea

Have you joined a Nikon Camera forum? They could probably help you better than I can

The camera probably has the same functions but might be a little different in how you set it up and how you get to the settings from mine.

 

[arman14]

No yet, but I will eventully.
It's too late anyways

Thanks for th input though.

 

[wardzach2007]

You're welcome.

Post up the pics lol

I took a few, they all suck
Good thing my brother had his own camera.
