Hi Everyone. I just purchased a Canon T6i and have a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens. I have to shoot my son's football game this Friday night, which will be under stadium lights. I'm by no means a photographer, just a mom who likes to take lots of pictures. I try to learn as I go along. I would really appreciate any advice on settings I should be using to get some decent photos. I will be on field taking photos but I am not quite sure about what settings I should be using on this camera. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

eBiggs thanks for that list!
A common setting for example is ...........
Av set at f2.8
Auto ISO
WB auto
Ai-servo
BBF
High speed continuous
jpg file format, yeah they don't use Raw
I had to look up what BBF meant, watched a couple you tubes on it and am glad I did
There were lots of other very informative posts on this topic for me to digest but yours, for me, is initially less overwhelming as well as a good starting point to build on.

He has only a few videos. But, they are great explanations of how Canon cameras work.
