hello!!! it has the sport setting from the scene mode. faster shutter speed is selected to freeze the action. recommended when taking pictures in bright daylight. and it also has auto focus tracking for moving subjects. this is a nice camera , I highly recommend it. and if You buy it from amazon.com they have a very good return policy, so maybe You can give it a try.

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I have found that when I want to take pictures of kids or moving sports objects - I select a mode like the sports mode and then push the shutter down half way to allow the camera time to focus on the subjects. Then I continue to follow the subject while holding the shutter half way down and when the shot I want appears I just complete pushing down the shutter and the picture will be taken instantly. If I don't push the shutter down half way first, I end up with the same 1 second delay between the picture I wanted to capture and what actually shows up on the viewfinder. Hope that helps.

I want to purchase this camera, however, I would like to know if it takes pictures inside a gym on the auto setting. My neice plays basketball and I would love to use this camera.

Yes it does. A very sophisticated image stabilization. It can be set in 4 different modes:1.Off2. Auto (both horizontal & vertical stabilization)3. Vertical only for up and down movements4. Horizontal only for panning horizontally.Trust this helps.

With a lot of movement in your subject you should use the Sport mode to avoid blurring.

Personally, I haven't had a problem with minor movement or taking a picture on the move, briefly stopping for the pic, and moving again. We just completed a trip to Europe, and the photos were fantastic. Sharp and clear. But I think it's up to you and how steady you think your hands are. Most new cameras today, like Sony, have image stabilization. But there is a point where stabilization and shaky become two different things.

Hello, Norma. If the photographer is in motion, for instance when shooting from a moving car or ferris wheel, 'Active' should be selected. If stationary, 'Normal' will do just fine. Here's from Nikon: "This mode (active) effectively compensates image blur caused when shooting from a moving vehicle, or some other unstable position, providing stable viewfinder images and blur-corrected captured images."

Hi, the camera has settings defined for high motion scenes, plus manual settings that allow you to truly customize the camera to the fullest. To give you an idea, i take photos a hummingbird where their wings in flight are frozen in the picture. Thanks

I'm sure this is late info for you and now useless, however, YES it does have a 'sports' mode. It is under shooting modes in the menu. Simply not on the dial. It also has a continuous shooting mode for fast action shots. You can download the manual from Fujifilm. com, and or look on the web sight for the technical information on the camera. Kind Regards

I use the Sport mode to take pics of my kids moving around or playing. I think it works great that way and I get some awesome pics of them.

There is a YouTube video that shows how you can assign one of the stunt keys to operate the camera. You can either take still pictures or turn on video and shift between.

There is a setting for action pictures. If you email me @ devinedelta@yahoo.com I will try to help you further

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of. cj

You set zones and amount of movement within that area. Pretty good for such an inexpensive system. I also have the 8 camera unit
