Hi All

I'm only going to have one chance this year to get some soccer pics of my grandchildren (this coming Saturday). I'll be using my brand new A550 and either my 70-300 G or the 70-400 G.

I'm not really sure what settings to use. It should be a reasonably bright sunny day. I'll be pretty close to the action - somewhere along the sidelines.

I was thinking of using the following settings:

Shutter Speed Priority - 800 or so
ISO - 200 (higher if needed)
Drive Mode - continuous adv - 5 fps
Metering Mode - Center weighted
Auto focus Mode - AF-A or AF-C (I'm not sure which to use)
AF Area - Spot
WB - Auto
DRO - Off
View Finder - I wasn't planning on using LV

Any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated.
