What should I pay attention to when taking photos of cloudy marathon?

Maybe everyone's shooting habits are different, but the purpose is the same, that is, to take clear photos. When shooting static figures, it is recommended to use the aperture priority mode, and when shooting athletes in motion, it is recommended to use the speed priority mode, and set the shutter speed according to the reciprocal of the focal length, that is, the safety shutter. However, it should be emphasized here that in view of the complexity and uncertainty of the shooting environment, it is suggested to set the shutter speed by the reciprocal of the focal length of 3 times. For runners, in order to improve the success rate, it is recommended to adopt a high-speed shutter with a shutter speed of 1/800 seconds or more.

In cloudy and relatively dark environments, high-speed shutter shooting is still recommended. At this time, high ISO and other settings can be adopted to keep the shutter speed as high as possible. ISO can be as high as 3200 or even 6400 depending on the scene. Remember! This is not an artistic portrait shooting, and low ISO love is not suitable for marathon shooting!

The camera should be set to high-speed continuous shooting mode, and a single shot can't satisfy the capture of wonderful moments.

Unless business needs, both organizers and athletes have a soft spot for photos with blurred background, so the setting of telephoto and large aperture is very practical. However, for the commercial exhibition boards, A-type boards and all flags, temporary booths and booths with commercial signs carefully produced by the sponsors, the sponsors require photographers to take photos and clearly display them. In this case, a wide-angle lens and a small aperture are necessary setting requirements.

The focus mode must be set to focus mode, AF-C, because your subject is basically moving, and the AF-S static focus mode can't meet the requirements.

Focus area, according to a lot of shooting experience, "group focus" is the most commonly used and practical focus area setting. Photographers can use single-point or large-range focusing mode according to the specific situation, but the premise of large-range autofocus is that the background is clean, otherwise it is likely to fail, so use it with caution!

Photographers who have requirements for artistic photography can take pictures in RAW format, but in most cases, it is enough to set JPG format, especially photographers who shoot a large number of players.

Automatic white balance; Automatic vertical composition display; ISO automatic, as mentioned above, the upper limit can be set at 6400.
