Generally speaking, you will most often use S mode for shooting sports and other action, but there will be times when you want to ensure that you are getting the narrowest depth of field possible in your image. The way to do this is by using Aperture Priority (A) mode to isolate your subject and focus your viewer’s attention on it. A larger aperture is required for this. The larger aperture reduces the foreground and background sharpness: The larger the aperture, the more blurred everything except your subject will be. When shooting most sporting events, the idea is to isolate your main subject by having it in focus while the rest of the image has some amount of blur. This sharp focus draws your viewer right to the subject. Studies have shown that the eye is drawn to sharp areas before moving on to the blurry areas.

If you really want the subject to “pop” from the background, use Aperture Priority mode and select the largest aperture possible for your lens. This works well when you have lots of light—enough light so that you can have a high-enough shutter speed without introducing motion blur (Figure 7.6).
