Tv mode question

Sounds logical. It looks like you get the hang of it.

If you really want that "stop-motion", then 1/4000 is the way to go. Get some of those. Then, just for experiment, try some with a slightly slower shutter, just to see if the blur effect is useful on some.

I find it pretty easy to reduce color noise in post-processing, so I am getting braver about kicking the ISO up higher and higher.

Anyone want to take a crack at this question?

As was suggested, sports mode will help you because of the AI Servo focusing. Keep focus on his shirt and track him through the pitch.

Or try locking focus at the END of a pitch. Then switch to manual focus so the lens stays where it is. Snap at the end of the NEXT pitch.

You have at least three choices:
1. If you stand paralell to his movement, just focus manually on him when he is not moving and your set. Just pan as he moves.
2. Reduce your aperture size to get a large depth of field if possible while still maintaing a reasonable shutter speed, and again focus manually on him at a mid point in his travel.
3. Use AutoFocus, Servo Mode, continuous shooting mode.

Scott, I think you mean to shoot perpendicular to his movement.

Thanks, I will experiment with these techniques.
