3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject)N
Standard setting suited for any moving
subject. Works with many subjects and
scenes.
Select [Case 2] to [Case 6] in the
following cases: when obstacles enter
AF points, when the subject tends to
stray from AF points, when you want to
focus a subject that suddenly appears, or
when the subject moves dramatically up,
down, left, or right.
The camera will try to continue focusing
the subject even if an obstacle enters the
AF points or if the subject strays from the
AF points. Effective when there may be
an obstacle blocking the subject or when
you do not want to focus the
background.
Case 1: Versatile multi purpose setting
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: [0]
• Accel./decel. tracking: [0]
• AF pt auto switching: [0]
Case 2:
Continue to track subject, ignoring possible obstacles
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity:
[Locked on: -1]
• Accel./decel. tracking: [0]
• AF pt auto switching: [0]
If an obstacle gets in the way or if the subject moves away from the AF
points for a prolonged period and the default setting is unable to track the
target subject, setting [Tracking sensitivity] to [Locked on: -2] may give
better results (p.90).
