Not totally clued up on how to use this camera. Recently for photos of buses made from 2014 onwards I have been using M and P modes with mixed results, usually terrible. Not really sure on modes and such and I have just had to guess, the day the X66 StreetLite's hit the rode I ended up trying almost every mode but didn't change the shutter speeds or anything like that as I didn't really know how and what would be a good speed. For older buses I have been using sport mode where the photos usually come out great.

See the other thing for me is that I shoot in RAW format. So if I mess up, and say select the wrong ISO for example, I can correct it in CameraRAW once I get home. But you need something like Photoshop or Lightroom to use that, as it's an Adobe plugin. I guess Nikon would have released similar for our cameras, but I've never bothered with it.

Sport mode will work fine, because it's going to shoot somewhere around 1/1000 and 1/1250, which is over compensating for what you need. It'll also select the ISO for you. Unfortunately though, your camera is working faster than what the LEDs blink on a destination display, hence why it appears blank or fuzzy. I stopped using sport mode, because some of the newer destinations seemed to blink the top and bottom halves in succession. So you'd end up with photos of half a destination.
