I am learning on the go, and I am trying to take pictures of my son's nighttime football games. So low light, action shots. What is the setting my camera should be on? And should I have the IS on? Thanks so much for any advice!

bseitz234 Senior Member  More info | Sep 04, 2014 07:23 | #2 IS probably won't matter, if you can get a high enough SS.Try to get f/2.8, 1/400. ISO as high as you can stand. Probably 1600, which is the highest native ISO. Noisy shots with enough shutter speed are better than motion blurred shots that are free of noise. Oh, and set the AF to single point, that'll make it much easier to pick what you're focusing on.

Shutter priority helps in using a shutter speed that can stop action. The XTi's high ISO limit of 1600 may lead to come exposure challenges.
