Here are practical, real-world sports photography settings for the Fujifilm X100VI, tuned for fast action, good hit-rate, and reliable autofocus. The X100VI isn’t a dedicated sports body, but with the right setup it performs surprisingly well.

=== 📸 Core Sports Settings (X100VI) ===

==== 1. Drive Mode ====
* High-Speed Burst (CH) - With electronic shutter you can reach very high burst rates. - With mechanical shutter (MS) keep to ~ 11 fps for best rolling-shutter control.

=== 2. Shutter Speed ===

Sports requires speed priority:

| Sport Type                             | Recommended Shutter                                     |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Football, Rugby, Hockey                | 1/1000 – 1/2000                                         |
| Running, Tennis                        | 1/1250 – 1/2000                                         |
| Very fast motion (cycling, motorsport) | 1/2000 – 1/4000                                         |
| Indoor sports                          | 1/800 – 1/1250 (lower if needed to keep ISO reasonable) |

=== 3. Aperture ===

The X100VI has a 23mm f/2 lens (≈ 35mm field of view). For sports:
* f/2 – f/2.8 outdoors → Keeps shutter fast, gives plenty of light, and some background separation.
* f/2 indoors or low light → You’ll need all the light you can get.

=== 4. ISO ===

Let ISO float depending on lighting:
* Outdoor daylight: ISO 160–800
* Cloudy: ISO 800–1600
* Indoor arenas / night sports: ISO 3200–6400 The X100VI’s 40MP sensor handles ISO 3200–6400 very well.

Tip: Turn on AUTO ISO
* AUTO ISO 1: Max ISO 6400, Min shutter 1/1000
* AUTO ISO 2: Max ISO 12800, Min shutter 1/1250
* AUTO ISO 3 (very low light): Max ISO 12800, Min shutter 1/800

=== 5. Autofocus Setup ===

For fast action, use:

===== AF Mode =====
* AF-C (Continuous AF) — always for sports.

===== AF Area =====
* Tracking AF for subjects moving unpredictably
* Zone AF (Medium: 5×5 grid) for predictable movement (runners, players moving across frame)

===== AF-C Custom Settings (AF-C Custom Preset) =====

The X100VI uses the same style as X-T series:

Best general sports setup:
* Set 2 – Ignore Obstacles & Continue to Track Great when players run behind others.

or

Custom:
* Tracking Sensitivity: 2
* Speed Tracking Sensitivity: 2
* Zone Area Switching: Center or Auto

=== 6. Shutter Type ===
* Mechanical Shutter for outdoors → less rolling shutter distortion, especially with fast movement.
* Electronic Shutter only when you need: - Highest FPS bursts - Silent shooting

Warning: ES + fast motion = potential rolling shutter (bent objects, warped bats, balls, etc.).

=== 7. White Balance ===

Sports lighting changes constantly. Use:
* Outdoor: Auto WB or Daylight
* Indoor: Custom WB or Kelvin ~ 3500–4200K (avoid flicker colour shifts)

Turn on:
* Flicker Reduction: ON (important for indoor arenas with LED lighting)

=== 8. Film Simulation ===

Affects only JPEGs. For sports:
* Classic Chrome for documentary feel
* PROVIA for clean, neutral sports images
* Velvia for vibrant outdoor colours

If you shoot RAW → use whatever, as it doesn’t affect the RAW file.

=== 9. Recommended Full Setup (Quick Version) ===

Sports General Setup (Outdoor):
* Mode: Shutter Priority (S) or Manual
* Shutter: 1/1000–1/2000
* Aperture: f/2.8
* ISO: Auto ISO (max 6400, min shutter 1/1000)
* AF Mode: AF-C
* AF Area: Zone AF 5×5
* Drive Mode: CH Burst
* Shutter Type: Mechanical
* WB: Auto
* Flicker Reduction: Off (outdoors)

Indoor Setup:
* Shutter: 1/800–1/1250
* Aperture: f/2
* ISO: Auto ISO (max 12800)
* Flicker Reduction: ON
* AF-C Custom: Set 2 (ignore obstacles)

If you want, I can build you:
✅ A custom sports preset for the X100VI
✅ A Q-menu layout specifically for sports
✅ A sports JPEG recipe (film sim + tone + colour + sharpness settings)

Just tell me your sport (football, rugby, motorsport, indoor volleyball, etc.).
