I have not found it great for that kind of shooting, but maybe there is a setting I have not yet discovered which will allow it to cycle fast enough. From time to time I may try shooting motorsport with it, so you're talking a very high demand. Maybe a slower sport may be ok.

The body has up to 1/6000 shutter speed and a pretty fast auto focus so it is very capable for shooting fast moving objects. There is an action freeze auto mode but i would learn how to use manual settings to achieve best shots. You may need to consider an additional lens specific to your need as the kit lens is an all around lens but there are plenty of choices. I have almost every lens for this system and love it all. highly recommend this camera. Easy for any body to pick up and take a shot on auto but has features desirable for high end photography too.

Camera has a very fast electronic shutter and can take up to 40 frames/second. I have used the 10 frame per second mode for some outdoor shots that came out fine - just a lot of pictures to go review. Subject was also far away so quick focusing was not an issue.

It does but only for distance. It stated all sport but there is only one setting (running). The only thing I don't like about it. I would use my 205 settings for all the different sports; hiking, biking, running etc. so I am missing that feature a bit.

Many cameras have a Sports setting which uses a higher shutter speed. Or is there shutter priority? I have several Lumix cams, but not this one.

Hey there, This camera is a great action shot camera, I used it for my little sister's gymnastic meets as well as soccer shoots and running shots, I just bumped up the shutter speed and the incredible focus motor did the rest!

Yes. Great camera for the price. I've taken over 1200 photos. 3- burst mode settings. Nice

Nope, it has a quick shutter lag speed, I believe it's called. This was the number one priority for me too when researching cameras. I'm happy with this one. It also takes good pics in low light on the right setting and good action shots. Very happy with the camera for the price and size.

Yes, this camera is very versatile at a really reasonable price. Before you try to take sports action shots, be sure to read the manual so you will use the correct settings. It is well worth the trouble and cost of ink to print the manual yourself if your camera does not come with one.

No. It's response time is fast enough for action photos but not for high speed motion capture.

It does on certain settings. It has some intelligent lighting/focus settings and an anti motion setting that takes rapid fire frames without much distortion. It has produced some gorgeous photos. However, if you are wanting to shoot exclusively manual, you may not be thrilled with its recovery speed.

Hello Sr's.I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable.However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

Yes, this is a great camera for anything outside of sports photography. The frame rate is not the best out their but I shoot wedding and portraits with my DF with no issue.

Have you tried putting the camera into sports mode. I think then you will get a faster shutter speed.

This camera should do a good job for you. It has a sports setting for capturing very fast action. The camera does an amazing job with focus. While at Disney this summer, I took a photo of a still object that was about 1/4 mile away using the zom feature. The framing and focus were perfect. I mention this because I was moving at aprox 10 mph on a train when I snapped the photo. The only thing you have to keep in mind when using this camera is the location of your fingers on the left. It is easy cover up the pop up flash. You should also have a spare battery.

Yes it does. You can choose to use it or not. It's a great camera, really fast. I'm enjoying it!

Hi Mark, no, the camera does not have the High Speed Shutter Sync. It has both the Slow sync and Rear sync flash modes. Thanks_Mitch
