Advice for basketball with the A7iii
1 month ago
Hi all,
I am new to Sony. I am a former Pentax user who's A7iii along with E 85 1.8 and Tamron 28-75 is arriving tomorrow. I do mostly portraits, but have done my kids sports in the past, but they are done now. I am going to a college basketball game tomorrow and would like to try it out. It's a small college gym similar to high school lighting. Looked at some pics I took last year, and the lighting was f 2.8, 1/500, ISO 3200.
My main questions are around how to set up focusing settings. I have been watching youtube videos and the options seem vast. Does eye or face detection work well with sports? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Fujifilm X-Pro3's new viewfinder, new screen and titanium construction all make for an appealing camera, but perhaps only for a certain type of photographer.
