100 Metres (Head On); 100 Metres (From Behind And To One Side Of The Finish Line) - Nikon Z9 Settings Manual

100 Metres (from Behind and to One Side of the
Finish Line)
Take finish-line photos with the camera positioned behind and to
one side of the finish line. Your subjects will be moving through the
frame, meaning that you'll want to use a [Motion] trigger.

[Advanced: Motion]
The options listed for [Direction] assume that the subjects will be crossing the frame from left to
right. Specifying the direction prevents shooting being triggered by people moving in the opposite
direction in the background.
Taking [3] as your reference point, adjust [Speed] and [Subject Size] according to subject speed
and size relative to the frame. Users of wide-angle lenses, in particular, will need to choose smaller
sizes to reflect the subjects' smaller apparent size.
If you are using a wide-angle lens, we recommend that you choose manual focus and shoot at a
fixed focus distance.
