Photo:
- For better quality results: Auto stopped to 6400.
- AF when you shoot sport:
- a Autofocus / AF-C priority selection / "Focus + Release"
- Point AF system: 9 points suggested, but more has to be tested...
-Shooting Menu / Set picture control / Standard:
- Sharpening: 6
- Contrast: +1
- Saturation: +1
- Brightness: -1
High ISO noise reduction: normal
- When you use the 28x300mm: Autofocus / AF-C priority selection / "Focus". This will avoid the kind of double exposure effect due to the large mechanical clearance of the focus on this lens.
- If you make a manual white balance (with a gray cardboard chart for exemple) your results will be really excellent in difficult lights.
Video :
- Image: 720p / 50fps
- Sound: "Auto"
When you shoot turn the Live View selector to "video recording" and Use M program (all manual).
Speed priority or Aperture priority will sadly turn ISO to automatic.
