In order to take fast photos without requiring flash, your camera must have an abundance of available light. In some circumstances, such as sporting arenas or nighttime outdoor games, this may not be the case. To help compensate for the lack of light, you may want to consider increasing your digital camera's ISO settings to 200, or higher if you can get away with it without introducing too much grain (noise) in the film. Note that in low light situations where shutter speed is a must, you may require a digital SLR that can take high-quality photos at ISO settings such as 400 or higher.
