  • no no no no no, never use the "sports" setting. That's crap.

  • Yes... there is a "Proper Way" to hold a camera. and for two very good reasons...

    1. To be able to keep it close to your body to maximize the stability of your shot (even at 1/500 sec) since this guy didn't suggest using a monopod which you should always do when shooting sports.

    2. SO YOU DON"T DROP YOUR CAMERA. If your camera slips out of your hand (because of inclement weather or sweat) and ends up on the ground, I promise, you won't be happy with what it costs you to repair your gear.

  • haha, why not use M instead of S/Tv mode. also ur camera was on F13 and F9 thats way to high, 2.8 is the way to go.

  • Ridiculous. NEVER use any sort of automatic setting, they're rubbish.

    They never even talked about aperture?

  • I suppose it is alright, 'for Dummies', but for Christ's sake just learn how to use the camera; it's the only way to get better...
