Shutter Speed Reminder
A faster shutter speed generally freezes action to help eliminate blurring. The type of shot desired is what dictates the appropriate shutter speed to use. In sports, you will need a faster shutter speed near one thousand to catch the action of your subject moving. When shooting a portrait, you can keep your shutter speed low near two hundred because your subject is usually not moving. With a slower shutter speed, you can experiment with your aperture a little bit more rather than in sports.

Shooting At Night?
If you have the joy of shooting sports at night, be careful of what settings you choose. To make sure that you get the fastest shutter speed possible, take your ISO setting up as far as you can go. After that, be sure to switch to manual mode. Next, move your f/stop to the largest opening, whitch would result in a lower number. Finally, move your shutter speed to a position where you can get a good shot, but still stop the action!
