Shutter Speed/ Apperture Trouble Rebel T5i

[JulieAndrews]

I'm having trouble with my T5i not balancing out unless the shutter speed is below 1/30.This happens in broad daylight or at night. This means I would have to shoot with my tripod every single time I shoot, also hindering me from catching fast objects. I tried changing my apperture but it does nothing to balance out, at any number. I'm in desperate need of assistance.

"Also I can't change to AF and Auto Mode because I'm in a photography class at my univrrsoity and we hav to thave certain settings and atuo mode doesn't allow that."

It doesn't matter a bit. You need to get back to square zero and see if the camera is at fault or you are!

Do this FIRST............quote.

"Whenever you get strange results, re-set the camera to default setting.  In the Menu under Tools also Clear All Settings.

Set the T5i to the full auto green square on the mode dial.  Go outside on a nice day and try it.  Make sure you have the AF/MF switch on the lens set to AF.  Make sure you are shooting jpg and not Raw format."

If your prof at the university won't let you do that you need a new university.

Or take it to the professor, since he is supposedly an expert. If that doesn't work, take it to the TA since they probably are the real expert!
