Sports AF: Autofocus Basics
The Standby Timer
Choose long standby times to keep
the timer active and avoid the delay
that occurs when it is reactivated
(note that this increases the drain
on the battery). If you’re at a soccer
match and the default six-second
timer expires while you’re waiting for a player to line up a
corner kick, the delay may make you miss the golden mo-
ment following the kick. In situations like these, we sug-
gest setting the timer to a minute or more.
