[Flexible zone AF] or [1-point AF] is recommended for [AF area].
Because of the subjects move quickly from side to side, [Whole area tracking Servo AF] to set [Enable] makes framing easier and adjust the composition.
If the AF frame moves to an unintended subject, we recommended switching [Whole area tracking Servo AF] from [Enable] to [Disable] to prevent unintended AF frame movement.
Selecting a slightly wider [AF area] such as [Expand AF area] helps keep the subject in the AF area. If the player tends to slip out of the AF area, setting [Case Auto characteristics] to [Locked on: -1] may be useful.
Also, using [Register people priority] can make it easier to capture your desired subject.
