Default help quick please

Canon rebel xs

65-300mm zoom. No flash add on or anything.

We are at my younger brother in laws final football game and we want good pics. No flames for this please, but what settings will produce the clearest photos?

Sorry, but there is no magic answer to your question. Also Canon nor anyone else does not make a 65mm-300mm zoom.

Put your camera in the AV mode and pick the lowest # aperture f4 i presume on your lens bump your iso to 1600 and shoot while he is stationary and not moving and you are close. This might get you by.

Thanks. We are trying to get action shots for review. Thanks for your help guys. I just took it and made the f stop(I think) at 5.6 and iso at 1600. They're a little dark but they're clear.

^ Honestly that's the best your going to do with what you have to work with.

F5.6 at night is no picnic.
