I am no way a pro at photography and don't even have a super swish camera. I would love to have of those new 400D but I have numerous other things to pay off/for first. A have at the moment a Panasonic DMC-FZ5. It has a 12x optical zoom which is handy but tends to blur a bit when at full range.

It has a dial on the top that has varoius settings:
P = Program AE
A = Aperture Priority (Range F8.0 - F2.8)
S = Shutter Priority (Range: 1/2000 - 8)
M = Maual Exposure

Then the other stuff like different pre done settings ie Sport, Fog, Party etc etc. Please put it in plain god damn english how I use these to get the most out of what I have in regards to:

- Taking pics of cars ie Motorvation
- Fast moving things ie rally or pdiddy crew at Dutton etc.
- Quality shots in low light
- What else you may wanna tell me.

What do the numbers next to A and S mean and what should the be set on for the best results in the above situations??
