[Flexible zone AF] or [1-point AF] is recommended for [AF area]. When the distance between the players is close, such as in a crowded game, you can set [1-point AF], and when the players move quickly or change the framing drastically, you can set [Flexible zone AF] to easily capture the intended subject.

Setting [Whole area tracking Servo AF] to [Enable] makes framing easier and adjust the composition.

If the AF frame moves to an unintended subject, you can prevent unintended movement by changing the [Whole area tracking Servo AF] setting from [Enable] to [Disable].

Selecting a slightly wider [AF area] such as [Expand AF area] helps keep the subject in the AF area.

If you need to photograph a specific subject, we recommend using [Register people priority].

Also, for climactic scenes such as a shot in front of the goal, we recommend setting the [Action priority] target sport to [Soccer].
