  • No problem getting clear shots using 1/500th or 1/640th? I will need to try that... I was using 1D M4 the other day in a gym and had the shutter set at 1/1000th and the ISO at 12,800... too much noise. I went down to 1/800th and that let me get away with 3200 and 6400 which was a lot better. I thought at 500/650 I'd get too many blurry images. I was using a 70-200 f2.8 wide open... great video!!

  • @RGN1970 It depends on the sport, but usually at 1/500th or so, you'll only get motion blur when people are flailing their arms or legs, and when you're so close in that you can see the detail. A wide shot at 1/500th looks pretty good.

  • Thanks, I mainly shoot wakeboarding and I never go much slower than 1/1000th when shooting from a boat. Thanks for the tip and keep the videos coming. Good stuff. This one was very interesting!

  • @RGN1970 Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out.

  • Just wondering, what do you set your aperture to for this kind of sport photography?

  • @JJtheJaxartosaurus for handheld, I usually shoot around 2.8, but for remotes, I bump up the aperture and go for at least 4 or 5, maybe 5.6 if the light allows. The idea is that the remotes can't autofocus, so you have to prefocus to a sweet spot, and make it as big a sweet spot as possible by raising the aperture.
