How do i set up a canon eos rebel xsi digital slr camera for action shots?
Turn on your Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi, also known as the EOS 450D. Put the mode selector dial to “Sports” mode (the one with a running man icon), a pre-programmed mode with a burst rate of 3.5 frames per second. This allows you to press and hold the shoot button and get multiple photos of a moving subject with incremental movements changing in every shot you make–in just one click. You may want to use longer lenses because shooting action shots or sports events would usually mean you are quite far from your subject. And as how the basics of photography require it, for such fast-moving subjects, it is best to keep the right exposure while still maintaining small aperture and high shutter speed to produce clear action images. Using a large aperture means less chances of getting sharp images.
