[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 824694, member: 50197"] All three posted pictures show an ISO of 100. A lot of folks think that you have to shoot the lowest ISO to get good pictures. While low ISOs are great, a sharp image with a higher ISO is much better than a low ISO, but fuzzy shot. As was suggested before, shooting in manual mode with auto ISO is what I use and , IMO, works well for action shots. Just keep an eye on your ISO and don't let it get too high. Experiment with what shutter speed is needed, I would probably start at 1/500. You might be fine with a little lower, or a little higher. It will be more about percentages of sharp shots, not a line in the sand. Remember, a noisy image can be fairly easily cleaned up in post processing.
