My wife recently purchased a new camera and I am trying to figure out how to make the most of the camera.
We have a Olympus E500 SLR 8.0MP with FL-50 flash with a 1GB xD card. I have tried using both the 14-45mm and 40-150mm lense with the same results.
I am trying to take action shots such as of my daughter in gymnastics. The camera shoots very fast in succession in the sports mode and under sports in the scene mode....tried to take many shots of a back hand spring to show each stage of it.
but....many of the succession shots are blurry....usually 1/3 look good but the rest are blurry...
please tell me what settings and how I should be shooting this type of scenario or am I doing more than the camera is possible of.
could someone also explain the difference between using an xD card and a compact flash card?
Thanks for helping a beginner
