Moving objects

When taking photos and recording videos of moving objects, timing is important
for good results.
Predictive Capture automatically takes photos the instant an object enters the
camera frame, before you press a button. Object tracking can track a moving
object automatically.
Use Burst shot to find the best photo from a burst of images.
When recording videos, you can use SteadyShot™ to compensate for camera
movements and steady the frame.
Capturing moving objects
• Try not to follow the object. Instead, find a position where the object has to pass in
front of you.
• Consider changing the exposure to a faster shutter speed or a higher ISO to freeze
motion.
