[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 659028, member: 13090"] My rule of thumb is... The faster, more erratic the action, the more focus points I use and, to an extent, the more control I'll surrender to the camera to maintain focus and tracking of the subject. If I think I can track my subject consistently and well then I'll do so, but I've got no problem letting the auto-focus take a crack at it first. I think what's critical to understand is that the AF Mode determines [I]HOW[/I] the auto-focus system focuses. The AF Area-mode determines [I]WHERE[/I] the auto-focus system focuses. [/QUOTE]
