Digital Camera Scene Modes – Sports
By Karl Peschel on May 8, 2007 in PointAndShoot, camera use, how-to, scene modes
Here’s some helpful tips for using Sports mode on your digital camera.
Whether it’s kids soccer or baseball, or an NFL game, Sports mode is designed to help you stop the action. Your digital camera will set the shutter speed as high as possible for the lighting conditions in order to stop action. If you can, setting the ISO to 400 or 800 will also help.
You’ll want to get as close as you can for great Sports and action pictures. First get physically close, right on the sidelines if possible. Move up and down the field with the action. Then use your zoom lens to get the shot you want. Both wide shots to show all the action and tight shots of one or two players will help tell the story.
Be sure to pay attention to what’s going on in the game. You may have to jump out of the way of the players!
