Ok, just on Day 1 with the new toy, but need to know how to shoot DS's baseball tournie this weekend! I have a Rebel XT, using a Sigma 18-125 lens.
I tried out the sports mode with rapid shots tonight. The pics are awful; blurry. I just took some practice shots of my kids doing jumping jacks, my own foot bobbing up and down. All blurry. Is it because:
1. low light? This is at night, indoors, no flash.
2. my lens isn't fast enough?
3. shaky hands, maybe?
4. I just have no business holding a camera???
Curiously, when I shot my bobbing foot on auto, not sports (hence there was flash), much better.
If it's a night time thing, most of thie tournie will be in daylight.
Should I skip the auto sports mode and go manual? If so, can you dumb it down for me?
THANK YOU!
