Outer focus points are used (e.g., speed skating). In-
crease number of dynamic-area focus points
by one level when framing pictures in “tall”
(portrait) orientation. Choose Focus + release
for improved focus when photographing
ball sports and in other situations in which
precise timing is not a priority.
Subjects move rapidly; camera orientation changes
often (e.g., fi gure skating). Increase number of
dynamic-area focus points. Increase lock-on
times for pairs events, where subjects are
often obscured by partner and camera may
focus background in gap between subjects.
For improved framing, choose Yes for Custom
Setting a10 (Store points by orientation).
Subjects move and/or change rapidly (e.g., hockey or
when alternately framing the pitcher and a runner
when shooting from the bench in baseball). Reduce
lock-on times for improved response in situ-
ations that call for rapid changes of subject.
