Hi, Thanks for the pointers. Its all gratefully received. I certainly wont need any advanced advice. As I have never attempted such a thing before. I was just thinking short one minute or so segments of golfers hitting shots rather than a Hollywood epic. In fact, my first thought was to use my phone. But then said to myself. Hey im sure we can achieve a better result. Il have a little practise run tomorrow. I hadn't thought much about editing software either so thanks for mentioning it. I was hoping I could just take it straight from the camera as it was. Maybe a little naïve of me..

Hi there, I'm off to The Open in a few weeks. (Golf tournament) Amongst the hundreds of stills I will be taking. I thought it may be a good idea to try and capture some of the action on video. Now this is were it gets a little hairy. Though I had my K5ii and K7 a while now. I've never shot a video. So I need some pointers from anyone that has had success in this field. Firstly lens choice, will have to be medium to long range. As i'm not sure as how close access will be to the players. Probably 15-50 yards away. What are the better settings to set the camera to ? Is a monopod sufficient support for video ? I'm going to order a coulpe of 32gb cards to cope with the larger file sizes.

Yes I like them. Very enjoyable set.

Welcome Doug...I'l be expecting some fabulous landscapes...lol

No1 is a class above.....

Only a common one. But he was around yesterday... (Sorry.. Not the best shot.. Must do better.)

If you didn't read his name on his wetsuit. He answers to the name Jack Moule.

Jack Moule (born 1994) is a young professional jet skier. In 2008, he became the British National Freestyle Champion in both the amateur and professional classes

really nice.. Well done...

Thanks guys that explains it.. I've never ever selected "P" mode on my camera. But I can see it could have interesting connotations when using flash. I'm off to experiment...

Sorry Ken. What is MTF.. Maybe i'm just stupid
