The AF points are arranged in a wide area so it is useful

for capturing and tracking of subjects. However,

depending on the shooting conditions or if the subject is

small, tracking may not be possible so caution is

necessary.

[Auto selection AF] is effective when shooting subjects

with unreadable movement that cannot be captured

with [AF point expansion] or [Zone AF] (figure skating

jump scenes for example). Another effective use is when

you want to take action images for publication/articles

with lots of space in the composition for text etc.

In the examples below, shooting began by capturing the

targeted cyclist first with a manually selected AF point (in

the center etc.). From there, while continuously shooting

and moving the camera (lens) to the left or right, it is

possible to position the lead cyclist off to one side and

include a lot of background (focusing continues to track

the cyclist by automatically switching AF points).

This technique is effective when you want to include

both the subject and the background in the composition

when shooting.
