In addition to the changes described above under "Improving Camera Response", you can fine-tune settings to improve response for specific subjects.
Choose these basic settings if subjects are often partially obscured by other objects or focus shifts quickly between nearby and distant subjects.
Select a long lock-on to maintain focus on your subject.
Increasing number of dynamic-area focus points ensures that camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus points if subject briefly leaves selected focus point.
Most effective where there is separation between subject and background.
Increase number of dynamic-area focus points by one level when framing pictures in "tall" (portrait) orientation.
Choose Focus + release for improved focus when photographing ball sports and in other situations in which precise timing is not a priority.
Increase number of dynamic-area focus points. Increase lock-on times for pairs events, where subjects are often obscured by partner and camera may focus background in gap between subjects.
For improved framing, choose Yes for Custom Setting a10 (Store points by orientation).
Reduce lock-on times for improved response in situations that call for rapid changes of subject.
Use single-point AF to prevent camera focusing on obstacles such as volleyball net or splashes, and set standby timer to 1 minute or longer for improved shutter response.
