Take finish-line photos with the camera positioned behind and to
one side of the finish line. Your subjects will be moving through the
frame, meaning that you’ll want to use a [Motion] trigger.

[Capture criteria] [Motion]
[Advanced: Motion]
[Direction]: Upper left to lower right, left to right, and lower left to upper
right
[Slowest]: [3]
[Smallest]: [3]
The options listed for [Direction] assume that the subjects will be crossing the frame from left to
right. Specifying the direction prevents shooting being triggered by people moving in the opposite
direction in the background.
Taking [3] as your reference point, adjust [Slowest] and [Smallest] according to subject speed and
size relative to the frame. Users of wide-angle lenses, in particular, will need to choose smaller sizes
to reflect the subjects’ smaller apparent size.
If you are using a wide-angle lens, we recommend that you choose manual focus and shoot at a
fixed focus distance.
