[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 501074, member: 40735"] Thanks all for the insights. Happy to report that the experiment mostly went well. Got a ton of usable shots. I was able to get there a bit early and take a few test shots. Aperture Priority with F/4 worked well, with auto ISO with a max ISO of 1600 and minimum shutter speed of 1/125. One mistake I made was I had previously set AF to single point and forgot to change it, and it resulted in a few shots with the subject out of focus. Another mistake was I had previously set the metering to center-weighted instead of matrix. Parts of the gym had floor-to-ceiling windows that let in a lot of natural light coming in, so some of the photos that were pointed at these windows ended up getting underexposed, but I was able to salvage those pics using RAW. I also forgot to activate the fill-in flash which underexposed parts of a few photos, but again I was able to salvage them from RAW. All in all, good learning experience, and thank you all for the great tips and insights! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
