But if the camera is on AF doesn't it automatically set the shutter speed relevant to the subject being photographed? How does one override this if my assumption is correct? As you can see \I'm very much a beginner and am still in the process of learning how to handle my camera and what it can do.

Originally posted by mattt All newbies get caught with slow shutter speed. You only shared your ISO value, Tell us what mode/settings you are using. 1/100 is too slow for sports with a telephoto. 1/400 is bare minimum IMO. Many would argue whether SR. should be enabled using a Monopod. I shoot some sports now and again but do it handheld and enable SR. If you use a monopod you might try SR on and SR off to see what yields best results in your situation.
On my Kr I used to use Tv mode =1/400(+)
Auto ISO 100-6400
AF-C
If the camera struggles to get the required shutter speed I might EV bias -1 stop because I can push in post.
In a nutshell I set the camera on AF and shoot. Nothing more than that.
