Hi jamarfarms!
Thanks for posting.
The Sports setting generally works well for this. Set the camcorder to the (M)Manual mode, then do the following:

Hello Jamarfarms,
The exposure values will always be relative to the scene that you are shooting. There are no baseline exposure parameters that are true for every situation. For example, a hypothetical suggestion for sunny days might be 1/2000th @ f/8- and that might be perfect, but then it becomes overcast and the proper exposure changes. So that same 1/2000th of a second at f/8 would no longer be correct.
If you wish to shoot manual modes, I highly encourage you to use an exposure meter in order to determine the value of the exposure at the time of shooting. It is the only way to obtain proper exposure when setting manually.
