Sports Mode
This mode is used for sports photography and
capturing fast-moving subjects.
Set the Mode Dial to < >.
● The way you take pictures is the same as in
<
> (Full Auto) mode. ( → 38)
➡ The AF mode is automatically set to SERVO>, the drive mode to <
>, and the
metering mode to < >.
If the shutter speed indicator blinks, the shutter speed may be too slow to keep the
picture from being blurred by camera shake. Be careful to hold the camera steady
and press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speed
indicator still blinks if you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.)
● The built-in flash does not fire in Sports mode, even if it is raised.
● The image quality can also be set. ( → 50, 118)
● For best results in Sports mode, use an ISO speed setting of ISO 400 or faster.

● For sports photography we recommend using a telephoto lens of 200-300 mm.
