    Zooming in lowers the amount of light avaialb

    With some zoom lenses the apearature gets smaller (larger F stop numbers) and the amount of light reaching the detector or film is reduced. So your camera has to use a longer shutter speed and movement of the camera or subject can blur the pictures. You can do a few things to help get better pictures with low light and long lens.

    First use a faster film speed or ISO setting on the camera if you can. This may help get the shutter speed a little faster but it will ad some noise to the picture. I go up to 3200 ASA at times.


    Second is to use a tri pod and hope that the subject holds still.

    Third thing is more expensive. Get a new lens with a larger aperature to let more light in. This can get expensive if it's a long lens with a lot of internal glass.
