On my way to get a CAT scan @ 5:56 this morning near Maynard, MA. I saw this and passed it - then said, "What the heck?" and turned around, went back and snapped a few frames. Just hand-holding my 7D2 with 55-250 IS STM @250mm, f/6.3, ISO 320, 1/32...

7D2, 70-200, 2.8, ISO 100, 1/3200. Took the shot, post in PSP, sent it to son-in-law. He dropped the color and added text.

I’m sure the experts here already know this, so this is for those of us who aren’t experts. Little League 10U when I’m sitting behind 2nd base with my 7D2 and 70-200 2.8 mounted on a monopod and shooting the batter at 10 fps I often get several frame...

...one more thing...(heh...heh...):smileytongue: When you're shooting action you're probably in AI SERVO. If you start shooting BEFORE the players actually start moving (like your focus point is on the QB and you start shooting to capture the center...

I have a 7D2 - unless the football play ends within 2 seconds, your buffer will stall if you're shooting RAW. Plus, at roughly 25MB per frame, you'll fill your cards pretty fast. Use JPG. Most venues (football, baseball, soccer, etc) I shoot 700-1...

Thanks! FWIW - Using Dot Tune, my 70-200 also comes up needing ZERO adjustment!

I don't know who's asking what questions of whom.... I'm using a 7D MKII. I've reassigned the DOF button to switch between wherever the focus point(s) has been moved to, and the center. I hit it with my right pinkie - and you're right, as a DOF pre...

Unless there’s motion, don’t use AI SERVO.

Only "Evaluative" exposure uses the focus point.

7D2- Reposition your focus point location with a single button press.
