Most team sports (e.g., soccer/rugby). Choose these 
basic settings if subjects are often partially ob-
scured by other objects or focus shifts quickly 
between nearby and distant subjects.
Subjects are often obscured by other athletes (e.g., 
track events). Select a long lock-on to maintain 
focus on your subject.
Subjects appear suddenly or are hard to track (e.g., 
diving/ski-jumping). Increasing number of dynam-
ic-area focus points ensures that camera will 
focus based on information from surrounding 
focus points if subject briefl y leaves selected 
focus point. Most eff ective where there is sepa-
ration between subject and background.
