Re: Sports photography with NX1000

I’ve been using my NX1000 with the 50-200mm lens to take photos of the kids football matches – lots of fast movement! I’ve had reasonable success but would appreciate some advice on the best mode and settings to have the camera on - I've read conflicting advice online. At the moment, light has been pretty good in the early autumn sun.

Any advice really appreciated.

I would shoot in shutter priority mode and ensure a high shutter speed of at least 1/500.
Burst mode is so useful when shooting this kind of action.
Also, I would be careful not to zoom in too much as you risk losing bits of the action as the ball moves quickly. Instead crop in later.
