the original object even if a new object temporarily enters
or crosses through the scene. As an example, 1(Locked On)
is useful for shooting across a street where trac may be
passing between the camera and the subject on the other
side of the street. In 1(Locked On) the AF will ignore the trac
passing through the shot. If you were to set the camera to
5(Responsive) the AF may attempt to quickly shift to the trac
as it passes through the shot.
RECOMMENDATION For general shooting the default
setting of 3 works well. For interviews or similar
shots using 1(Locked On) will stop the AF from being
distracted by objects that may cross the foreground or
background of the shot.
On the other hand, 5(Responsive) can be used for
capturing car racing where multiple cars are coming
one after another and you’d like to easily change the
focus from one to the other.
