 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
128
Standard setting suited for any moving 
subject. Works with various subjects and 
scenes.
Select [Case 2] to [Case 6] for the 
following: When an obstacle cuts across 
the AF points or the subject tends to 
stray from the AF points, when you want 
to focus on a subject appearing 
suddenly, when the speed of a moving 
subject changes suddenly, or when the 
subject dramatically moves horizontally 
or vertically.
The camera will try to continue focusing 
on the subject even if an obstacle cuts 
across the AF points or if the subject 
strays from the AF points. Effective when 
there may be an obstacle blocking the 
subject or when you do not want to focus 
on the background.
Case 1: Versatile multi purpose setting
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
• AF pt auto switching: 0
Case 2: Continue to track subjects, ignoring possible obstacles
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: Locked on:
 -1
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
• AF pt auto switching: 0
If an obstacle gets in the way or if the subject moves away from the AF 
points for a prolonged period and the default setting is unable to track the 
target subject, setting [Tracking sensitivity] to [-2] may give better results 
(p.132).
