Yes, there is a speciall setting that adjusts the shutter speed for action shots

Yes, especially in bright light. It somewhat depends as well on how steady the photographer is, of course. The HD movies are also really crisp, and I've used stills from these as very nice photos.

So far (with all the settings I've tried), there is no auto-flash. You must press a button. Good: doesn't distract players on the field. Bad: camera reverts to ISO 800 which can be grainy.

This camera does not have a "sports" setting. It does have a "burst" setting for continuous shooting when you hold down the shutter button, but it is not real fast. If you are taking single shots, its not too bad, especially outdoors.

I haven't tried it on sporting events so can't really comment but I would be concerned about the speed resulting in blurred shots.

I have not tried any action shots. Sorry. Try looking thru the manual. All of my pictures-are still shots-using the 14X optical zoom

Avoid extra digital zoom. The brighter the light the better. In lower light try evening setting. Do what you can to hold still. I can't remember if there is a setting for stabilization method you can check.

If you have the shakes, I wouldn't buy it. No, I think you have to steady, but not like a rock. I've not had problems with blurry pictures.

The shutter lag on this video camera in photo mode is not something you would like. I tried taking action shots of my son playing indoor soccer and the time between pressing the button and it taking a picture was long enough to miss the shot I wanted. This was indoors, but the lighting was decent. Perhaps outdoors it would be different, but I'm not counting on it. It takes decent pictures - not great though. Don't throw away your digital camera if you're getting this. I will do in a pinch for non-action photos if you have nothing else with you. The specs say it's 10 Mp - but that is 5Mp scaled up to 10Mp. Again, the pictures (even with flash) aren't too bad. But regular digital cameras have a lot of optional settings (for still photography) that are easily accessed - this does not. Good luck. Tony PS...I haven't tried getting stills from movies - but might give it a try using my Pinnacle movie editing software. The video sure looks stunning and the pictures from it..well....won't know unless I try.

What do you mean by a "movement"? If you mean there seems to be something loose inside the camera, I have not experienced that. If you mean you get a blurry shot of a moving object, I have found that sometimes the focusing mechanism works well and sometimes it does not. I have gotten clear shots of my kid playing tennis and some blurry shots... trial and error.

Yes you can take stills underwater. You can also take stills from the video that are pretty good quality.

NOOOOO! You would be lucky to have it focus in time to capture the action. I originally bought this camera to take action photos of my sons's high school football games. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned this camera.

you can adjust it on the menu based on what you need, 120,240, 480, and1000 frame per s. the faster you got the lower resolution of film you had. i usually use 120 and 240 frame per second to capture running. and it s pretty

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.

Yes there is a setting that would allow action photos ... I took photos of cheer competition to get jumps and stunts

wow, thanks, first I heard about the focus. So if I'm filming soccer coming towards me, the action will be out of focus at the other end of the field?

When in video mode switch to 2 and you can start video.. switch back to 1 and you can take stills while in video mode. That's how it works on my 70D

Yes you can shoot stills while recording video. It is not a feature I am familiar with but I just tried it and it worked just fine.
