actually, for those pictures...depends if you want more background or less background for a portrait...for more backgrounds in a portrait, you might need a tripod, and set the aperature at the highest amount(smallest number on the readings) and set the shutter speed at a regular rate perhaps 30th of a sec, depending on the light situations...if you want less background set the aperature at higher than usual (4-5.6 is normal usually), then set the shutter speed at a low speed so you can balance out the amount of light that's going in...remember to use the histogram of the meter to see if you need more aperature or less or more speed or less...i tend to like to have a lil bit of a underexposure...

btw...iso settings aren't that much of a use to me and i think its usually no need to change the settings...iso i usually shoot at is 400...
