The Sports Mode allows the user to capture a subject in motion. Sports-related pictures need a fast shutter and proper exposure to ensure that a fast-moving subject is captured. This mode uses 1-area-focusing, so you will have to set the location the camera should use to determine proper focus. Remember, you can enlarge the 1-area-focusing box or shrink it depending on how broad or narrow you want the camera to focus on. The Sports Mode has several sports-related scenarios to select from to help you capture the picture. This mode has the scenarios listed in.
