After a five year hiatus, I now have an opportunity to photograph indoor football. Lots of fast action and scoring. No punting, no taking a knee and the clock runs most of the games. To top it off - no breaking for commercials! Biggest regret - home team players but for the quarterback all have dark visors! Almost impossible to catch their eyes! Which is also why they wear them! Unfortunately, home team lost

Shot with a Z9 fitted with a Nikon Z f2.8 70-200. Settings at shutter priority of 1/1000th, ISO and aperture calculated by camera. ISO 4000 and aperture 3.2.4.0

Have you tried shooting in manual instead of shutter mode? Auto iso 1/1250 wide open. Just a thought.

I kind of experiment a bit to see what gets me results I like. I normally shot in manual mode - everything. Shutter, ISO, f-stop. Then found I was making adjustments for lighting in post processing that were taking up more time. So now I am experimenting in shutter priority. However, in this arena, the lighting is pretty good and quite even, so I may go back to manual the next outing.

Always looking for the best settings in each spot. Trouble is remembering them! LOL.
