<p>Thanks again for the responses. This is not even remotely my profession so significant investment beyond what it costs for my girls to do all these sports isn't appealing. I guess I have trouble with the notion having phenomenally crisp and perfect shots outdoors and then crappy shots indoors. It seems like the ISO is the issue. The camera does an exceptional job at being in focus and shots per second. It's purely the grainy issue that's a problem. I appreciate the advice about shooting in shutter priority to select the ISO. </p>

<p>Jochen, thanks so much for the response. I can provide a sample from outdoors on the same setting. It would seem that I would need to manually adjust the ISO setting. </p><div></div>

<p>Hi. I have a Pentax K50 with a 300mm Tamron telephoto lense. I've been able to take amazing pics of my daughters playing outdoor sports (lacrosse and soccer) on the "sports" setting but indoors for gymnastics the pics are all grainy. I suspect it has something to do with lighting but I need some help. What would I change to get good crisp action photos in indoor settings with typical fluorescent gym lighting?</p><div></div>
