I have a 400D and like Manc I use it in TV mode, different people have different ways of achieving the same aim, just have a play with the settings be it TV or AV mode until you are happy. The beauty of a DSLR is that you can afford to play with the settings and shot lots of images.

All the best

I use TV mode and adjust the shutter speed accordingly, in bright weather the F number shouldn’t really matter that much, just ensure you shutter speed is fast enough to “freeze” the action.

However in bright sunlight using Av F8-11 you should be able to get a decent shutter speed.

Different ways of achieving the same outcome.

I stop down 1/3 – 1 depending on the sunlight.

Have a play with some test shots, maybe moving cars on the road, see what you prefer.
