If you shoot in raw you get an unprocessed original image that you need to "get the noise out" of.
If you shoot jpeg the camera will process the image for you. see if that helps.
Sports photographers shoot jpg. If you have your light balance set right you don't need raw anyway.

Thank you Jim, I wasn't aware that Defin2 was a noise reducer. I will let her know as she has this program. She tells me the problem with her setting the camera on "sports"mode was that not only was the ISO so high, at times the shutter went so low that not only was the image extremely grainy, it was also blurry because of the fast action of a bull bucking a cowboy.
Thank you for your comment on Defin2.
As for the other people who have responded since I last acknowledged everything, thank you for your comments it is appreciated. :)
Move from sports mode to manual. shoot as wide open as you can, however the sweet spot for focus will be at a higher f-stop. use the lowest ISO you can, but try not to go lower than 1/250 second.
As a general rule, for hand held your shutter speed should at least match your lens: i.e.: 250mm, use 1/250th. 100mm use 1/100th. Your image stabilization can cause image blur so turn it off, especially if using a tripod.
heres why. The motor in the lens is going to be looking for movement in order to stop the movement. if there isn't any movement, the motor in the lens will create movement.
(I know theres a more technical way to say that)
