[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 679737, member: 15302"] If you know you need a fast shutter speed and can use a reasonably low aperture (2.8 or 4), then set both of those manually (i.e. shutter 1/1000 and f2.8), and put ISO on Auto-ISO. Be sure to shoot in RAW so you will have the most control over exposure on your PC later. For beginners, this is absolutely the best combination. You must have high shutter speed and a wide open aperture, so let the camera control the ISO for each shot. Don't be surprised if it goes way up, some shots might even be over 10,000 ISO. You could also try lowering the shutter speed to 1/800 or 1/500 to see if they are sharp enough, but the huge 46 megapixels on your D850 will show even the tiniest motion blur. To set Auto-ISO, I believe you just hold the ISO button and roll the front command wheel one click. (I don't have my camera at work.) You will see the "Auto-ISO" turn on. Also, in your menu settings for ISO, you should make sure your Max ISO for Auto-ISO is at least 12,000. I know that seems high, but a sharp focus picture with grain is better than a blurry sports shot without grain. [/QUOTE]
