[QUOTE="PavementPilot, post: 15560, member: 4024"] Welcome to the board. The video recording capabilities of the D3100 are good, but not great. Sports action may be pushing its ability too far. You will find that you will get jello legs and pan smear. You will get some lens focus noise, as the mike is set right beside the lens. If you are looking for studio quality sound for your video, you will be disappointed. If you are looking at just recording the moment or event and can live with some sound, you will be happy. Set the focus to AF-C for sports action stills. This will keep the lens focusing constantly for better focus, and set to S mode for shutter priority. I do not suggest using the Auto ISO setting, as it has a tendency to be funky at times. I would set to 100 outdoors sun, and 200 for cloudy, and 800 for indoor. Experiment from there. [/QUOTE]
