Capturing Indoor Sports
When shooting inside, you might find some pretty funky lighting in some gymssodium vapor lighting and fluorescents, to name two.
Use these settings:
- White Balance: Try all the white balance settings available on your camera, to see which looks best. Your camera also may have a fluorescent setting that would work.
- ISO: 400.
- F-stop (if available): Start at 2.8 and adjust upward if the shutter speed can take it.
- Shutter speed (if available): Try to keep this setting over 1/250, though the light indoors may necessitate longer exposure times.
Again, you're working with speedy subjects here. Keep your shutter speed quick if you have the manual settings to do so.
