From: Alfred Molon on 14 Jun 2010 18:16 Just curious, at what ISO settings do the photojournalists covering the evening soccer games shoot? Perhaps 1600 or higher? The fields seems to be well illuminated and those lenses are huge, but the photojournalists need to freeze the action, so will have to shoot at 1/100s or shorter exposure times. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site

In hockey, I think about three years ago they used 3200 ISO and f2.8-4 for shots, because though the ice is bright white, the players aren't.

Sure HOPE they're shooting shorter than 1/100 to freeze the action! -- Michael

Isn't that 1/infinity ;-)
