3Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject)

Case 5: For erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction

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 following AF area selection modes are set: AF point expansion (Manual selection ), AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points), Zone AF (Manual selection), 61-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 is prone to sudden, erratic movements up, down, left or right, setting [AF pt auto switching] to [+2] may give better results (p.89).
