CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Case 2 Continue to focus-track even when the subject momentarily moves from the AF points Case 2 is an effective setting for shooting fast moving subjects when they move away from the selected AF point, or when obstacles may momentarily obscure the subject.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Sometimes when the subject moves from the selected AF point, focus can shift to the background (resulting in an out of focus subject), similarly when an obstacle obscures the subject, focus can shift to the obstacle. By selecting Case 2 in situations like these, the camera will attempt to continue to focus-track the desired subject.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Example of a fast moving subject where the focus has shifted to the background (photo). By selecting Case 2 for situations like this, it will be easier to focus track the subject.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Case 3 Focus instantly on subjects that move into the AF points Case 3 is the ideal setting for situations when you want to focus quickly on subjects in the AF points.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 In other shooting situations, this setting can be extremely effective when switching between different subjects you want to shoot (for example, at the start of a bicycle road race, when you want to shoot continuously and switch from cyclist to cyclist while focusing). When set to Case 3, if the subject moves away from the AF points, the camera may quickly refocus on a different subject or background, in contrast to Case 2.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Change the target in sequence and shoot continually 1. Shoot the whole group while focusing on the cyclist in the center 2.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 3. Focus on the right side cyclist 4. Focus on the left side cyclist A scene with cyclists coming towards the camera. While focusing on the lead cyclist you may wish to switch focus to the other cyclists within the group whilst shooting continuously with AF. In this situation, by selecting Case 3, you can achieve the desired focus on each subject.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Case 4 Focus track subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly Subjects suddenly going from static moving or suddenly stopping can occur in various sports and situations. In these situations, Case 4 is most effective.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 In these situations, Case 4 is most effective. With the [Accel./decel. tracking] parameter set to [+1], the AI Servo AF will work to focus track any changes in speed, including sudden stops and acceleration. This makes Case 4 the most effective setting for shooting soccer, rugby, basketball or sports where there is a lot of running and stopping, as well as changes of direction which was difficult for Case 1 to track.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Continuously track runners as they suddenly speed up to run in a short-distance sprint.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Case 5 Focus on subjects with erratic movement Case 5 is most effective for subjects with large amount of movements which could occur in any direction. This setting is recommended for use in automatic selection AF, Zone AF, and AF point expansion modes. *With Single-point AF and Spot AF, as AF point auto switching is unavailable, in the default setting operation will be the same as Case 1.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 In Case 5, [AF pt auto switching] is set to [+1], when the subject moves away from the manually selected AF point (AF points focused on initially with Auto selection AF, Large Zone AF, Zone AF), focusing automatically switches to other AF points that cover the subject. As a result, even when the subject continuously leaves the selected AF point, it is possible to increase the ratio of photos that are in focus.
CONTENTS Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 It is possible to focus on subjects that move erratically in any direction Inline skating on a half-pipe. Capturing the moments when the skater is jumping and twisting is easier with Case 5.
