It really all depends on what you're shooting and the lighting!.

1) Keep it low (400 or less), set your camera on a tripod and you won't need the high ISO!.
2) I'd go with macro or manual!.
3) Off, as long as you've got the camera on the tripod!.
4) Don't think you'll need it!.
5) Off, try to use natural light or light the subject properly yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends on where and how the lighting is!.!.!. if you're trying to take a photo in the dark with a fast shutter speed you need a higher iso!. focus again depends on what kind of photo you're taking!.!.!. auto focus for quick snap shots, macro for close ups, etc etc!. personally i hate flash i never use it, unless i'm going for a certain look!.

definitely have a tripod or some sort of steady surface to achieve a sharp photo!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well assuming you are lighting your subjects!.!.!.!.there is no reason you need any higher iso than 100-200!.

Use a tripod as well

If you are shooting close ups of small models!.!.!.use the macro setting and manual focus!.

try taking shots with and without the flash!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
