Hi guy’s I’m trying to understand how to use the 1dX II for a sport photography with emphasis on the focus tracking...
For an example and to be clearer... when I photographing a moving subject I know that my first step is to put the camera on AI SERVO... but how do I “tell” it to track a moving subject? Reason says that I must choose in AF Area Selection Mode the last option: Automatic selection AF (entire AF area). I’d tried to photograph an airplane like this, in selecting AI Servo AF characteristics I choose the first Case (versatile multipurpose setting) and it went well, the airplane was the only thing in the frame that had contrast so it was easy... but what if I wanted to photograph Motorcycle racing for example... and I want to focus just on one motorcycle... how do I “tell” the camera focus on that motorcycle and not the other ones? And how do I “tell” it to continue tracking the motorcycle that when I take the pictures all of them will be sharp? I read the instruction manual and this part is my weak point... I’m coming from event photography and trying to learn how to use the camera for sport photography...
Thanks for your answers..
