[Flexible zone AF] or [1-point AF] is recommended for [AF area].

If it is crowded, you can set [1-point AF] to easily capture the intended susbject.

Set [Subject to detect] to [Animals] and [Whole area tracking Servo AF] to [Enable] makes framing easier and adjust the composition.

Detection is possible when the horse has minimal dressing (horse's mask and saddlecloth).

If the AF frame moves to another horse, such as when the horse is running in a group, you can switch [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.
