About this course

This course turns a beginner into a dependable game-day shooter. You will configure your camera's continuous autofocus and subject tracking, choose shutter speeds and drive modes that freeze peak action, position yourself legally and safely on the sideline, and cull thousands of frames into a tight, deliverable set. Every module uses concrete numbers, named gear, and worked examples from indoor and outdoor sports.
