How Do I Choose the Best Motion Tracking Camera?

Tracking shooting refers to moving the camera horizontally and uniformly during the shooting process, so that the shutter movement and the athlete's movement are in the same angle to form the special effect of the dynamic solidification of the subject and the background blur.

Slow down the shutter speed

Set the shutter speed to be slower than the standard speed, but not too slow, as it will be difficult to capture a clear subject. For example, when tracking a car, you can adjust it to 1/60 of a second, and continue shooting until you get the best picture. And when shooting people walking or crying, it can be adjusted to 1/30 of a second. The faster the shutter speed, the clearer the background, and the less blur caused by movement.

2.Autofocus

Activate the auto focus function, half-press the shutter and lock the moving target. After you press the shutter button all the way, you must continue to track the shooting, so as to create a smooth blurred line from the beginning to the end. If the camera shutter speed is not enough, you can focus in advance to ensure that the subject is always in the frame.

3. Select the best shooting point

To get a good picture, it is important to choose the right location. This place must be safe and unhindered. You can also use a telephoto lens to maintain a certain shooting distance.

4. Keep the same level with the subject

Placing the camera at the same level as the subject will help you focus better and take sharp pictures.

5. Leave enough space for the subject

Another important trick is to leave enough space between you and your subject. Insufficient space will limit your tracking.

6 use monopod / tripod

The use of a monopod or tripod can help you get sharper shots.
