Ugh. Just shot 700 pictures in the wrong mode...

I'm curious as to how (and why) you'd take 700 shots at one game. A full length adult game is 90 minutes, youth games are shorter. Let's say your son's game is 70 minutes tops. That's 10 shots per minute or 1 shot every 6 seconds, with no breaks. I don't see how you could have enough time to shoot that many shots, let alone compose them, and it'll be hell to go over them all and sort out/process the good ones.

I just sat there with the camera on continuous and shot away. I didn't take long to fill up the SD card...

Minimum 3 frames per second and depending on the camera, it could have been 5 or 8 FPS. And it's not like he was shooting baseball where nothing happens 95% of the time. With soccer there's almost always something going on.

So the goal is quantity, not quality? Perhaps you need a movie camera. The hardest part for me is always editing down to the one or two shots that are keepers. You've got a heck of a job on your hands there.
