  • I’ve made a mistake, the 55-300 does not have the fast AF I suggested it for. Apologies for that.

    The 70-300mm VR AFP f/4.5-6.3 DX ED has much faster AF. It works on your camera, is affordable, and the best tool for your usage here.

    Interestingly, I’ve read that with VR teles, switching off the VR will actually get you slightly faster AF. It’s only really for slower speeds, so that makes sense.

    You should only use DX lenses.

    When the play is close to you, set your position to allow for that.

    Edit to reflect that I got confused with which lens I recommended. Sorry!



  • Two things:

    AF-A and AUTO AF Area select should be fine. If not, try AF-C. It will track the subject it’s locked to. If its not locking where you want, you’ll have to use AF-S and Single AF Area. That requires predicting where the subject will be, and if it’s going to move you’ll need to set 3D to track it.

    maybe some of the blur in my photos is actually better explained by camera shake (shooting at 200 mm on a 1.5x crop sensor)

    This depends on which lens you are using. If it’s a Nikon with VR there should be no shake. If it’s not focusing fast enough, a better lens may be needed. I’d recommend the Nikon 70-300mm VR AFP f/4.5-6.3 DX E

    Of course, no lens or camera can help if your problem is technique. The D7500 is a fantastic DSLR and with a suitable lens there’s no reason you can’t get the results you’re after. Technique is crucial in that with all else accounted for, poor technique will reduce your chances.

    I hope this helps, feel free to ask anything.

    I like it when I use Ableton Live.

    I can load any of my projects and everything is running exactly how I left it. Any issues I’ve had have been down to 3rd party plugins.

    I’m fortunate in that this is the only thing I use my MBP for, other than accessing music stuff on the internet using Firefox with uBlock, which is synced with my phone.

    It’s not logged into Apple ID, and I bought it used. So there’s no money paid to Apple and as little data as I can give them.

    It’s my hobby, but if I were to do it professionally I would do everything exactly the same. Except I would buy the machine new.

    Hi, I’m a very low level Android user so forgive me if this is incorrect. I’ve seen references to use init_boot.img instead of boot.img

    This is just from scanning around XDA this year and could well be irrelevant, but it may be worth double checking.

    I wanted a OnePlus 12R and was checking the OP forums generally to get a feel for bootloader unlocking and custom ROM availablity.

    I hope this helps.
