best shots at basketball games
How can I figure out the best settings for basketball games with my nikon 8700?

Practice, Practice, Practice!
Each gym's lighting is different.
If you can be on the floor (rather than above in the stands) that would be best. Having a monopod is also very helpful.
I've been practicing all season and still am learning and trying new things. Hope someone who knows more technically can help you out with the actual camera settings. Good luck!

I agree with Diane. I thought by having a great (and expensive) camera, I could put it on automatic and it would do the rest! Wrong! I almost gave up --until I settled down and did everything manually. The different gyms still provide different lighting
(especially the new halogen lights, but things are MUCH better! I still had to do a little trial and error, but almost all are keepers.
Just open that lens up as far as it will go. Good Luck ( We're in the playoffs, now!)
