Recommended AF Settings by Event
Vault
If you find the subject hard to frame, select
auto-area AF. Auto-area AF in particular
lets you concentrate on composition while
leaving the camera in charge of choosing
the focus point. If you find that auto-area
AF tends to focus on the vault, choose
group-area AF or 153-point dynamic-area
AF.
• Autofocus mode: AF-C

If you can’t see athletes on their approach, focus on the
vault and then refocus when a vaulter comes into view. If
the camera refocuses on the vault, choose a quick Blocked
shot AF response for Custom Setting a3 (Focus tracking
with lock on).
