Rugby lens 90-280

Ah - wildlife.

AFC, Field, high shutterspeed. 

If the AF cannot keep up switch to AFs and shoot more deliberately.

Thanks! Would you also use S drive mode?

You can shoot bursts if you like. It is a way of getting a decent image during action. I don’t use it. I like to hit the exact moment.

Some sports shooters absolutely swear by shooting in burst mode. I have tried it for rugby and it didn't make any difference for most things (place kicks at goal being the only exception I can think of) except to give me more data and work. None of us is wrong - try it both ways and see what suits you best.

Good luck!
