    Thanks for the tips! I've been taking pictures of my kids playing sports. Now I'm working on getting a new sense. I currently use a 50mm, which is great when I sit baseline (basketball). I've been talking to some people. I'm hearing the 70mm-200mm is great. Is that true? Is there another lens I could try after the 50mm? Thanks

    Back button focus……..a good time to introduce this feature mate,once you go back you never go back.

    Great video. The same method I tried for capturing birds. Really happy that I did correct one that you described.

    Initialy I was manual mode. But very hard to handle.

    Later I changed ISO settings to Auto ISO. Just keep adjusting my shutter only.

    Another great video. Thanks for making this video sir.
    Have a great day.

    First!
    E: Muahaha 😁😂

    Very good update on your previous video about shooting moving objects 👍
    Luckily one of my tripod legs unscrews to make a monopod; haven't found use for it yet but I bet it'll come in handy.
    Great tips! I hope to try them out later this year during some local sports activities 😀
    Keep up the good work Paul!
