Canon Rebel T7 + 18–55 at my daughter’s 4pm indoor volleyball. Looked fine on the back screen, then at home every frame is mush from 1/60 because I kept ISO at 800. Do I lock 1/500 and go Auto ISO, or is the kit lens the problem?
Set Tv to 1/640–1/800 with Auto ISO and AI Servo, let the lens run wide open — better a little grain than a lot of blur; shoot RAW if you can. If it’s still too dim, a cheap 50/1.8 is a night-and-day upgrade — can you get close enough from the sideline?
Go wide to 18mm — f/3.5 vs f/5.6 adds about 1 stop; crop; ‘1/60’ fixed?
