3Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN

Case 5: For erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction (disabled in Single-point AF mode)

Default settings

•Tracking sensitivity: 0

•Accel./decel. tracking: 0

•AF pt auto switching: +1

Even if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right, the AF point will switch automatically to focus-track the subject. Effective for shooting subjects that move dramatically up, down, left, or right.

This setting takes effect when the AF area selection mode is set to AF point expansion (manual selection ), AF point expansion (manual selection, surrounding points), Zone AF (manual selection of zone), Large Zone AF (manual selection of zone), or 65-point automatic selection AF.

This setting is not available with the Single-point Spot AF (manual selection) and Single-point AF (manual selection) modes.

If the subject moves even more dramatically up, down, left, or right, setting [AF pt auto switching] to [+2] may give better results (p.115).
