Hi Cotty, the camera was in TAv mode, f4.5 @ 1/80th. The camera set ISO 640, and shake reduction was on. I could have bumped up the shutter speed a wee bit. There was quite a bit of window light. The blur on the hand caught me by surprise too. It's a function of how fast her hands move when she's signing. It's motion blur. It's not a flattering picture of the lady, but it's an accurate example of what goes on in a signing conversation: Lots of extreme facial expressions. I guess they help convey meaning.
