Soccer Shooters: How Do You Zoom? In reply to bontemps, Oct 20,

soccer's rapidly changing distance to play while maintaining
framing and focus. So far it seems that if I want focus to be
tracking, I can't zoom to reframe. If I stop focussing, I can
zoom, but even then the amount and abruptness of the distance
change is leaving me badly framed much of the time, so, I'm
hoping that some of the more experienced sports shooters here
have come up with better technique. Any suggestions? Or is it
really going to take a manual zoom (with associated fast focus)
to have a hope of keeping up?  Wrap your left hand under the
lens barrel on the FZ150...use your left thumb on the zoom side
lever to frame the shot while your right index finger is on the
shutter in 5.5 AF Burst or 12 Shot Burst...you'll get plenty of
keepers...set Shutter
