I am using a D810 and am shooting in AF-C mode at auto area AF but the camera is not changing focus fast enough as the dog moves. I get one or two decent shots out of 8-10 in a given sequence. In all cases the shooting was done in bright light so it's not a low light issue. Also, I am using a shutter speed of 1,500 or greater. What focus settings do others use in this situation? Are 9, 21 or 51 dynamic areas the proper settings to use?thanks</blockquote>
