[QUOTE="Ruby Gold, post: 582955, member: 42618"] Howdy. I've pretty much used SF Single Servo as my Focus Mode in the past and if I had a moving subject, tried to track it as it moves using the active single focus point. To try and improve my focus in capturing moving subjects, I've set the shutter to continuous release mode, and the Focus Mode to AF Continuous Servo. In order for this to work properly, do I also need to set the AF Area Mode to Dynamic? And, if I do that, how do I know which focus point to use for framing the subject? I'm assuming that once I use that focus point, then, with these settings, as the subject moves, it will track it - is that correct? Sorry if these are dumb questions - I'm coming from a D40 (with 3 focus points!) to the 3300. Also - I use spot metering in Manual mode - so in order for my exposure settings (shutter speed, Ap, ISO) to continue to be accurate - if I use the Continuous Servo AF, which focus point should I use to meter off of? Thanks for your thoughts! Ruby [/QUOTE]
