Re: Best Fuji XT4 settings for indoor sports photos?

Sports is 90% of what I shoot however it’s outdoors so I’m not sure I have much wisdom to impart with regards indoor shooting specifically.
The first thing I would suggest though is forget about Sport Mode - it offers absolutely nothing in my experience.
If you find you do quite a lot of panning then I’d suggest sticking with the mechanical shutter as the electronic shutter will exhibit quite a bit of shutter roll. Mechanical shutter will still do 15fps in high speed burst which is pretty good. 
For focus, my own personal preference currently is to use Zone along with AF-C & custom setting 2, sometimes I switch to 3. I do sometimes revert to just the centre square if for some reason the Zone AF just isn’t doing it on that particular day, perhaps due to lack of contrast with poor/low light.

There are a couple of other things that might be useful to know, like what lens(es) are you using and are using flash?
