[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 352270, member: 12948"] Shutter priority would be my preference, with Auto-ISO with max ISO set to whatever is acceptable for your camera (6400 on my camera I can work with). Personally in gym's I use manual, use the widest aperture my lens will allow and a minimum shutter speed of usually around 500 because I am using my 70-200. If using my 85 then I cut that down a bit, but not by much. You really have to judge most of this by the lighting for each gym, where I am that changes for each wrestling match/basketball game. Also, get as close as you can to catch the action. Usually in a gym I dont use a monopod, its just a preference. You can always put in Green (Auto mode) to see what the camera suggest and then use this as a starting point for shutter or aperture priority or even manual which will give you even more control. The best advice is be prepared to put in the work, it won't come easy and you will need to remember what you did the last time to get the pictures. You will take 1000 shots before it all starts to sync in, but shooting sports is a great way to learn about light, speed, timing and pretty much everything else you need to know for photography. Dont get frustrated, just keep shooting and reviewing to figure out how you can get better the next time. [/QUOTE]
