action shots
I assume your camera operates in a similar fashion as my Canon T2i/T3i (550D/600D) cameras with the following explanation. If you set the shutter speed too fast for the given ISO setting and aperture, then it will show up too dark. This is something that can be worse on dark cloudy days than if you had bright sunlight. You either need to purchase a camera that will provide higher ISO settings like the Canon T6i (760D) camera and/or use a lens that will permit you to use lower F-stops such as F2.8 to allow in more light. Or just plan to take photos for fast action on sunny days.
So to get it to not show up as a dark picture, keep reducing the shutter speed (with the ISO level and aperture you chose) until you get the correct exposure. Look at the histogram to help you with this. Or you can start in Av (aperture priority) mode with the chosen ISO level and aperture and the camera will pick the shutter speed that will properly expose the photo. It also depends on what exposure mode you picked.
If you use a F-stop like F2.8 the depth of field will be more shallow than if the lens is stopped down from there, with all other things being equal. If any of these technical terms are not understood please review on the internet. YouTube has some great information also.
