Continuously track players as they suddenly slow down and speed up
In sports photography and motocross, you
often have to respond to quick movement.
Subjects suddenly going from static to moving
or sudden stopping can occur in various sports
and situations and it can be difficult for the AF
system to judge accurately, In these situations,
Case 4 is most effective. With the [Accelerate /
decelerate 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. It is also effective for cornering during
motor sports (sudden deceleration and
acceleration).
This is a cornering
scene in motocross.
The bike races at
high speed, suddenly
decelerates just
before turning the
corner, and Case4
can be used to
accurately capture
the shot.
Blue color of focus point is for illustration.
