3Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject)N

Case 3: Instantly focus on subjects suddenly entering AF points

Default settings

Tracking sensitivity: [Responsive: +1]

Accel./decel. tracking: [+1]

AF pt auto switching: [0]

Once an AF point starts tracking the subject, this setting enables the camera to focus consecutive subjects at different distances. If a new subject appears in front of the target subject, the camera will start focusing the new subject. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject.

If you want to quickly focus a subject appearing suddenly, setting [Tracking sensitivity] to [+2] may give better results (p.90).

Case 4: For subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly

Geared for tracking moving subjects whose speed can change dramatically and suddenly.

Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/ deceleration, or sudden stops.

Default settings

Tracking sensitivity: [0]

Accel./decel. tracking: [+1]

AF pt auto switching: [0]

If the moving subject suddenly and greatly changes speed, setting [Accel./ decel. tracking] to [+2] may give better results (p.91).
