What is the best way to capture a moving subject using indoor lighting.

Need to know exactly what I should do about my shutterspeed/f-stop.

Using Fuji Fine pics 5200

Capturing a moving subject is no easy task—unless you learn to use a technique called panning, which gives you a relatively sharp subject with a blurred background. Your shots will have a real sense of speed, and more importantly, they'll look really, really cool.
Here’s how it works:
Select a slightly slower shutter speed than you normally would. Start with 1/30 second and then play around with slower ones.
Position yourself in a place where your view of the subject will not be obstructed by anyone or anything else. Also, consider the background of your shot.

I dont think you can shoot moving objects without flash with that camera, since max iso is 1600 and lowest f-number 3.2.. but use 1600 iso f-3.2 and see what kind of shutterspeed is possible on that light, most likely it will be too dark, depending on how fast the object is moving(how fast shutter speed you need) and how much there is light in the room. You should use atleast 1/100th shutter speed or way faster depending how fast the object is moving.

i dont think he ment that

To stop motion (take action pics without blur) you'll need a fairly high shutter speed. Try to keep it above 1/1000 if there's quick movement. Also, image stabilization won't help while shooting sports. You're going to be using shutter speeds high enough to eliminate the effects of camera shake, and IS won't do anything to keep the subject from moving. At most, you could use a monopod, but a tripod won't be a good option because you'll want to move around to get different shots.

The most important thing is to keep the shutter speed high (1/1000+) If you have a faster lens (low f/stop number) this will help, but your field of focus will be much narrower. But if done right, a narrow field of focus will look cool (subject in focus, background blurry. It's called bokeh) If someone's standing still, you can obviously get away with a lower shutter speed.

If there's enough light, you'll be able to do it. There will have to be some pretty bright lights though.

Let me also add that you can most likely get away with 1/320 or so. 1/1000 is optimal. I don't want to make it sound like if you don't have enough light for 1/1000 that it isn't worth trying.
