[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 4962, member: 1061"] I'm with Michael on this one. Which mode are you shooting in? When you're in an environment with poor lighting, it is vital to control the amount of available lighting for decent shots. This usually means the use of flash, controlling shutter speed, or both. For sports, generally you want to freeze the action, which means high shutter speeds...which does not go well with poor lighting. Flash will freeze action at lower shutter speeds, but if you're shooting from the stands, using even a good external flash (not the camera pop-up flash) probably won't have enough power to reach a basketball floor. You have some fast glass, so that's not the problem. Try using Shutter Priority (S) or if you're comfortable, Manual (M) mode to keep your shutter speeds consistent. [/QUOTE]
