Between the Tv mode and the regular sports mode on a 600d?

Tv mode leaves a lot for you to set yourself. Like ISO, continuous or single shot, picture style, one shot or AI servo AF, white balance, etc.

The difference is that "sports mode" shouldn't exist on a dSLR. :lol:

Ok then! LOL!!!

Went to a rodeo and just used continuous shooting using M. when dusk hit, I switched it to Tv (didn't really know what it did) until I saw the information flash on the LCD display. the day shots came out ok... the dusk/night shots using Tv came out better than all the other manual settings I was attempting to use. Still a bit on the dark side but not as dark or as blurry as the other settings.

Going to another rodeo in a couple of days. Guess I'll use that mode then during the day.

Sports mode opens the aperture of the lens all the way up and then the camera chooses a shutter speed to match it for proper exposure. The camera has chosen all of this based on the particulars of the auto mode.

Tv mode stands for shutter priority - you choose the shutter speed and then the camera chooses the aperture for correct exposure.

I forget if the camera chooses the ISO in the sports mode on my XS but I know that I choose the ISO in Tv.

Hope this helps.

If your Tv shots were dark it was because the automation opened the aperture to the maximum but that still was not enough for the light conditions and the ISO set. If you can't control the light (by using flash, for instance), raise the ISO. If the shots were blurry, the shutter speed was too slow, increase it and raise ISO even more.

You were just lucky I guess...

If unsure just use the pre-programmed mode (like you did)

If unsure but in an Indiana Jones mood pick Av, Tv, M and experiment.

To become less unsure start reading. The manual is a start, but especially for Dslrs there are even better readings online. More practical & to the point. Google should get you enough...

To become sure - having read - start asking questions and experiment on your own.

Just having the camera will never yield impressive photos. Work and devotion is needed.

You lose a lot of functionality in the 'canned' modes. For instance, in Tv mode, you can change the ISO, or add or subtract exposure compensation. You aren't allowed to do this in Sports mode.

Put the camera in Tv mode and call up the menu. Note what is available in the far left (red) settings.. Then, put the camera in Sports and note all the red settings that are no longer available.

Learning your camera is half the fun! Intimidating at first but no where near as difficult as you imagine. The Ap, shutter, and iso relationship is pretty simple once it "clicks" and you get it. Stay off those preset modes though! ;)

I beg to differ on that... I did sports mode for a few shots that I ended up deleting.
My camera is set up only to shoot raw....

On another post of mine, my books arrived yesterday... read one already and I get it! :D

"Tv mode stands for shutter priority"
And P stands for Professional......Tv stands for Time Value, where You pick the shutter speed.
Maybe "Sp" stands for shutter priority:lol:
