3Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject)
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.87).
Case 4: For subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly
Geared for tracking moving subjects prone to sudden, dramatic changes in speed.
Effective for subjects with sudden movements, sudden acceleration/ deceleration, or sudden stops.
Default settings
•Tracking sensitivity: [0]
•Accel./decel. tracking: [+1]
•AF pt auto switching: [0]
If the subject is in motion, and prone to sudden, dramatic changes in speed, setting [Accel./decel. tracking] to [+2] may give better results (p.88).
