As title...

How do you set up your canon camera for sports photography.

Do you use back button focus?

I use back button focus for absolutely everything, including sports, BIF, studio portraits, walkabout/street, aircraft. You name it - I use BBAF.

AF-ON or * for focusing. AISERVO when required. aperture priority to control depth and adjust ISO as required.

Sports Illustrated have a guide on their website which although a little dated (old camera models) the same principles still apply.
