Four basic methods of capturing action in photography!

First, use the correct autofocus mode.

How to use autofocus correctly to capture fast motion is the first and most important step to capture excellent shots of moving subjects. Each camera has multiple autofocus modes. They have different names depending on the manufacturer, but you can see the following on any camera:

Focus lock: after you get the focus, the focus will not change until you take a picture or change the focus position.

Stay focused. The camera will constantly adjust the focal length with the movement of the subject.

Manual focus. Fast action shooting is not recommended.

Second, return the button focus.

Paying attention to the back button is more than just setting the camera. You can use the button on the back of the camera instead of using the shutter button to focus. Back button focusing seems counterintuitive, because autofocus seems to go hand in hand with pressing the shutter button. However, there are several good reasons to use this focus, especially when capturing fast motion.

When you set the camera to continuous autofocus mode and use the shutter button to activate autofocus, you can press the shutter button while following the subject to get a perfect shooting effect.

Third, automatic ISO

In this case, if the subject is blurred (unless you try to capture motion blur), good composition will be meaningless (therefore, faster shutter speed is needed). This usually means using a higher ISO value, especially when shooting indoors where the light is weaker than outdoors.

Automatic ISO can save shooting time and set minimum shutter speed and maximum ISO. Most modern cameras can provide excellent results up to ISO 6400, while still retaining enough colors and details.

Fourth, aperture priority shooting.

If you need a fast shutter speed to shoot, why not use it? Shutter priority? Mode shooting? Because automatic ISO can give you the ideal effect.
