sports action shooting using ixus 105

bk_deb · 18th of September 2010 (Sat)

Hi everyone,

I bought an ixus 105 recently and learning to take photographs in different modes. I am being able to increase the shutter speed for low light shots, but not being able to set it for a fast action shot.

The spec of this model says that the shutter speed varies from 1/1500 to 15 secs.

I want to achieve some faster shutter speed like 1/1000 secs in program mode.

Any reply/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.....

The only option you have is to use program mode and increase the ISO setting to get the shutter speed you want. But most sports photos look better if you pan with the action using a slower shutter speed to get the sense of motion, look at this weeks contest in the link below
