That seems like a rather slow shutter speed for a sport event. May I ask what camera you use? At 8fps, you must have a full frame camera. I am not being a smart ass, just looking to learn more about photography from my peers.

I use mine for competitive swim meets. I have taken shots both from the bleachers and from on the deck; Auto ISO, shutter preferred @ 1/400th, 8 fr/sec, autofocus. Depending upon the lighting or backlighting, I may override +.3 or +.7 overexposure. It is perfect in this environment. Maybe a little heavy, but, Oh Well.
