Use Creative Angles. Get down

low and let the action come to you. Try shooting down into the action or shooting through the crowd to capture the emotion of the event.

Stop The Action. When

shooting sports or other fast moving action like pets and kids, stop the action by manually adjusting to a fast shutter speed. This maximizes detail while minimizing blur. And making those adjustments is easy with the help of the menu screen.

Scene Selection Mode. There’s

often a sports setting that you can use to capture the moment. If your camera doesn’t have this feature, play around with the settings and try them out at a practice.

Be Prepared. Always have fresh

batteries and an extra memory card ready to go.

Follow The Action. Some

cameras feature preset modes that let you see the perfect adjustment for any situation right on the LCD screen. Or play with your camera’s settings before the big game or event to determine the best shutter speed.

Did You Know? Shutter speed is just another fancy term for how sharp or blurry you want your action shots to be.
