Gear in this topic: Canon EOS R6 Mark III
Had mine since December, mostly high school football and some track. First week I set it to 40fps electronic, filled a card in one quarter and spent the whole evening culling near-identical frames. Now I'm on 12fps mechanical most of the time and only flip to the fast mode for the split-second stuff, catches on the sideline mostly. Haven't really used pre-capture yet.
What did everyone else settle on?

This is exactly why I don't touch it at weddings. 12fps mech, or low burst for the processional. Only time I go electronic is when the officiant asks for silent. Nobody's paying me for 40 frames of a ring exchange, man.
rink lights flicker. electronic was a mess on my r6. 40fps is for people who dont have to cull at midnight
don't have the iii but gig lights + e-shutter on the r6 = banding city lol. idk how much better the new sensor is with that

The III has high frequency anti-flicker for LED lighting, worth a try if you ever upgrade. I haven't tested it in a gym myself though, the stadium lights have been fine.
