Hi Carole! I do use Sensia 100 too... good stuff!

May I make a suggestion? Unless you are at the beach, way up in the
mountains or in the snow, just consider a (non winter) sunny day
"average" and use f/16 @ 1/100. It's comparable to 1/250 @ f/11. Set the
focus at 10 feet, and make sure nothing is closer than about 5 feet from
your camera when you shot. I think you'll be happy with the results.

In the winter, you'll need to set the aperture at f/11, set the focus at
about 12 feet, and make sure nothing's closer than about 6 feet from
your camera. Shooting in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky can
make for some very flattering lighting!

Most people I've suggested this to have been very please with the
results and not having to worry about focusing, setting the camera, etc.
They just wind and shoot!
