Is it okay to shoot a sports portrait at a fixed focus?

Of course, the focus can be fixed, but in addition to the influence of ambient light, the shutter speed needs to be fast enough, and there are ways to ensure the success rate, such as setting the automatic servo focus mode and setting the continuous shooting. The most important thing is that zooming before and after fixed focus can't achieve composition, so the biggest problem should be how to ensure better composition and prevent wonderful pictures from fleeting.

It is suggested that you should be "diligent" when shooting a fixed-focus portrait, and you need to track the movement of the subject at all times to capture a wonderful "instant freeze" picture.

In short, fixed focus requires higher operation skills than zoom lens, and it is necessary to predict the motion trajectory of the subject in advance, occupy a more favorable shooting position in advance, and keep the best distance from the subject, otherwise it will be difficult to take good photos?
