One Shot locks focus and is not a good mode for an active subject moving toward/away from the camera. Try AI Servo instead, but even that works best with a subject moving at a constant rate (like a car or runner). Someone standing still when you first focus then jumping toward the camera when you shoot is going to be a problem for any AF system. With respect to the motion blur in your subjects hands, that can only be solved with faster shutter speed. If you are using studio strobes this could be a problem as you may not be able to sync at a shutter speed higher than 1/125. The built-in flash of your XTi can sync at up to 1/200. An accessory speedlight compatible with FP High Speed Sync (like a Canon 430EX) will sync at any shutter speed up to the XTi's 1/4000.

Hi Rachel, Are you possibly Rachel Stern from Portland, Or ? Jon is correct - you need to use a faster shutter speed. If you are the Rachel I think you are, you will know who I am - Carlton
