[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 377205, member: 13090"] "Focus Tracking" with "Lock On" are two things that work together to maintain focus on a moving target. Focus Tracking means the subject will be tracked, even while moving, and "Lock On" prevents focus from choosing a different subject. Say your bird is in flight and you're panning the shot waiting for the decisive moment. Focus Tracking is maintaining focus on your pretty birdie as it moves around in your frame. Then, suddenly, another, great big ugly-ass bird enters the frame... Heavens!! Will your AF get confused and want to focus on this new, bigger, ugly-ass bird; thus spoiling your shot of pretty birdie? No! No it won't! Because you have wisely engaged "Focus Tracking" *with* "Lock On" ensuring not only your moving target will be tracked as it moves in-frame, but also that focus intent will be "locked on" to the specific target you've chosen [I]and too the exclusion of anything else that enters the frame[/I]. Without "Lock On" that big, ugly-ass bird flying into your perfectly framed shot could steal focus lock away from pretty birdie and spoil everything. But not today, ugly-ass bird... Not today, thanks to patented Nikon Focus Tracking with Lock On technology. *fanfare of trumpets* [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
