[1-point AF] or [Flexible zone AF] is recommended for [AF area].
Setting [Whole area tracking Servo AF] to [Enable] makes framing easier and adjust the composition when shooting lifts and throw jumps. When switching to the main skater, change the framing and press the shutter button again.
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] or [Flexible zone AF] helps keep the subject in the AF area.
If you need to photograph a specific skater, we recommend using [Register people priority].
