Action...

This is one of the easiest shots to take with your dslr...coz other than the focus settings you can leave everything else as automatic....


these are canon menu names - nikon folks find your own... :P


> set focus to automatic (that it will usually be)
> set shooting mode to P (program auto)
> optional - on a bright day lock in your ISO at its lowest

> set drive mode to continuous shooting

> set auto focus (AF) mode to AI Servo AF

> Optional - make only the central Auto Focus point active (AF Point selection menu)


catch a car with the central point and press trigger half way to focus & lock in

press trigger full way while following the subject with the central point....and keep trigger down letting the camera shoot away....


review and select good pics in computer & not LCD display (very important) :))


and of course, remember to change it back to One Shot from Servo AF before shooting stills.... else you will be wondering what on earth is wrong with the camera next time you try a still...
