Hi guys!
I’ve started enabling the Show AF point in review/play and noticed that for tracking it VERY often show the AF point where initially was and not where I moved it when shooting bursts. I enabled this function because of the crazy poor hit rate with fast subjects. And it seems indeed for faster subjects that the AF point doesn’t really track, it just stays where it was when the shutter is being pressed. I’m so bad at explaining this, but as seen in my examples the focus didn’t even try, it just stay behind and never pickes up the subject. It feels like using pre-focus instead of Ai Servo (which of course is enabled).
Is this because the RF50 and RF85 are way too slow or is it the body that just doesn’t respond when things are moving faster? My 1-series and 5-series bodies have always at least tried, but the R seems to just throw it hands in the air and be like, I’m not even going to try that...
A lot of cat shots when they jump the af point sits where they sit before the jump, and when moving the camera/af point to follow their movement it doesn’t leave the spot where they were. So sudden movements is never focused. Many times the shutter doesn’t even release even though I have set it to prioritize shutter release (5 fps).
I’ve tried every AF mode and settings imaginable .
The camera works great with everything else and slow, even movements are no issue.
I so wish I could have a go with the RF70-200 to find out where the bottleneck is...
Seriously frustrating stuff, especially since tracking slower movements is incredibly accurate ..
thanks!
