Stopping action depends on 1) holding the camera steady; 2) catching action going towards/away vs. side-to-side; 3) lens extension which makes it harder to hand-hold steadily; and 4) using high burst shooting mode. I just recently bought this camera and took it out for its first trial at a Cleveland/Detroit baseball game. Our seats were about 380 ft. against the outfield wall and behind the bullpens. The day was overcast and rainy. I used my camera with lens fully extended since we were so far from the action (my husband needed small binoculars!), hand-held, and on high burst mode. One photo is pretty clear - notice the runner is heading more in my direction and my focus was on him. The shoes on the first baseman are blurred, but most everything else in the photo is acceptable to me. The other photo shows much blurring - but note that the photo is trying to capture TWO objects, each going in an opposite direction and left/right, right left. The camera had trouble focusing on the moving objects in that situation. You may have better outcomes if you shoot in manual mode or speed priority (these were in autofocus mode). I am very amateur level, and this was the first time with this camera. Also, the photos had to be cropped and resolution reduced in order to meet this page's posting requirements. Overall, however, I was extremely pleased with the sharpness considering the distance from the moving subjects, and can't wait to test it out birding!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
