Shooting Moving Subjects - Canon EOS 70D Instruction Manual

5 Shooting Moving Subjects

Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a
running child or a moving vehicle.
Shooting Tips
Use a telephoto lens.
The use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a
distance.
Track the subject with the Area AF frame.
Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter
button halfway to start autofocusing in Area AF frame. During
autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot
be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink.
The default setting is <o> (high-speed continuous shooting).
When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button
completely. If you hold down the shutter button, you will be able to
maintain autofocusing during continuous shooting of the subject's
movement (max. approx. 7.0 shots per sec.).
Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder's
shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera
steady and shoot.
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
