[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 661451, member: 13090"] I determine the AF-Area Mode based on how the subject is moving: the more sudden, more erratic the motion of the subject the more focus points I use. For something relatively slow-moving, or moving in a predictable path (such a runner, cyclist, etc.) I'd probably work with Group or D9; [I]assuming I can pan the motion/keep the subject well-framed[/I]. As the predictability of the subjects motion, or my ability to smoothly pan the subjects motion [I]decreases[/I], the number of focus points I employ [I]increases[/I]. A moving subject definitely adds a layer of difficulty so be prepared to have a higher than normal Trash to Keeper ratio regardless of your settings.
