Squirrel

To take a picture of something that moves fast, making the time frame for you to take the picture very limited:

-Leave the camera turned on if possible, with the settings already chosen.

-One of the most important things is to use a high ISO, that way you can prevent blurriness, however, make sure you don't turn it up higher than the camera can handle or the quality of the picture will suffer, as it will have a lot of 'noise', or little dots on the picture.

-You may want to turn off the flash if the sudden light might scare the animal, if that is what you're taking a picture of.

- A good way to make sure you get the picture at the right time is to press the shutter halfway and then the rest of the way at the precise instant that you want the picture of. That way you can get rid of the time lag between focusing and actually shooting, which could be essential.
