Canon 1dmkiii AI-SERVO

[vmlopes]

Hey fellas, just getting to grips with the AI-Servo on my body, never really had to use it for what I was shooting, but have some potential shots that I would like to nail.

I have set my focus to the rear button, and exposure and release to the shutter, have centre focus point selected, so is it a case of getting the point over what I want in focus pressing the rear button once and then tracking it and firing off a burst, or do I need to hold down the rear button

keep rear button pressed down

or do I need to hold down the rear button

if amything like the 60D - one press will be the same as single shot - and hold the button down in A1 Servo - so i would suspect you need to hold down
But why not just try it all you have to do is move the lens between something near and far and it should be obvious

Keep the button pressed and it will track focus. Let go if you want to lock the focus.

Once you've got used to it you'll never go back.

Hey thanks fellas, wondered why tracking was not tracking :bonk:

To prove it does work...........lol
