Soccer with a 100-400mm

click on the flag pole or the white portions of the soccer shoes...that should be "OK".

Nice edits. I'm going to try this next week.

Try to sneak up to 1/2000th SS.
A noisy sharp shot is still a sharp shot.

My 40D, nothing below 1/800 and nothing above iso400, for sharp, stop action soccer.

you can use 100% instead of 50-55%?

I was having trouble with presets (daylight) both in camera and in lightroom....the in camera looked best. I couldn't find any neutral colors to use the wb selector on, and I obviously didn't set a custom wb at the time of shooting.

I basically either went with the in camera daylight setting, or attempted to set it myself with the sliders. Was hard

I would leave the camera on auto, and adjust WB in post.... It looks like you'll be there already to sharpen the images, just create a PS action and let is crank it out. That'll alleviate that step when on the pitch. Alas, I would consider sending the lens out for recalibration. It truthfully should be sharper than the images its providing you.

The autocorrect was worse than the in camera and preset WB settings
