Only thing I would do is set Screen 3 to Auto (the advice of most pro-reps) unless you have specific cases where the subject meets one of the specific criteria. I actually use Case 4 but changed the Tracking to -1 so it sticks on the initial subject better, but that speaks to the small birds I tend to shoot.I’ve switched it to face +,tracking. There’s no way I was gonna line up that little square with any fast moving animal. I’ve done that.
Here’s where I’m at. Please let me know if I missed anything -
AF screen (purple)
Servo AF
AF to Face plus tracking
Animals
Eye detection enable
Cont AF disabled
Screen 3
Case 1
No changes to tracking or acel or decel?
Screen 5
Initial servo point for AF pt is face plus tracking and is at Auto
Camera settings
Customize buttons
Shutter at half press metering and AF start
AF on button set to eye AF (2nd row 4th across)
Are these all I need to make to get some clear images? Thanks. Nancy
It takes a couple weeks of shooting to fine tune, and as I said I've enabled the control wheel on the lens to allow me to switch between focus points. I've used AF Menu 4-Limit Focus Methods to eliminate all but Face Tracking, Expanded Area and Large Zone Horizontal as those are what I've found useful and it doesn't require me to move through things I'll never use.
