I just purchased a canon rebel T6. It has the standard lens and also the 75-300 mm lens. I am fairly new to the photography world, and I am trying to understand the settings and modes this camera has. My daughter has gymnastics meets and they are all indoors at various arenas. The lighting varies also. We would like to get some close-up shots during the event that she is on. We are never able to be on the floor, just around the arena. I have read a little bit on some other forums that recommend Aperture of 2.8. The lowest this camera will go is f4. Any help on these settings would be very helpful. Thank you

You are welcome! I am fortunate to have access to gear that handles low light well but I have enjoyed helping out parents and some high school students get the most they can out of the gear that they have available.

"You can go online and download an owner's manual four T6 in pdf format."
Yes do that today.
" I will look into the 50mm lens option."
No do not do that at least for now. Perhaps later but I doubt a 50mil will do what you want. At any rate your current lens has 50mm included so if you find 50mill to be useful go ahead.
Try my settings suggestions first and see how it goes. After come back and we will offer further suggestions.

@damundo, I just got a T^ as well aiming to shoot indoor soccer. How have you progressed so far and what setting have helped you?
