right some advice needed when im shooting motorsport i use back button focus ai servo and case setting two.the problem im haveing is the second shot in a burst is out of focus and sometimes the rest of the sequence.this happens when they comming straight at me or panning same problem with the aircraft up the mach loop.i also use centre point only.
thanks nigel i have just set it up as you said off to motocross practice track to test it this afternoon. ill pop back to let you know how i get off thanks for taking time to reply.
no probs. Will be good to hear the outcome
I still have a 5DIII woooohoooo and I'm still on here
To obtain focus lock for second and subsequent shots in a burst while in AI Servo, select the AF menu, go to the second "dot" and select AI Servo 2nd image priority. On the screen, move the pointer to the right hand side, to select Focus as the priority. This will ensure that no shot will be taken until the subject is in focus.
As an aside, I also set my AI Servo 1st image priority the same
The trade off here is that seed of burst will be sacrified somewhat, but I'd rather have fewer shots in a burst that are in focus rather than more shots in a burst that aren't all in focus
For motor racing or aircraft, have a go at expanded centre point focussing. This may improve your hit rate

awesome nigel works a treat much much better only blurry ones where my fault its like having a new camera
That looks like it could be the solution to my Birds in Flight problems too.........
Muchas gracias, senor.
The issue with using the single spot with moving objects is that for it to track properly you need to keep the focus point on the object, which is a challenge when you take the shot and the viewfinder goes black. As Nigel has suggested I also used to use the Expanded Spot, it also works surprisingly well with Zone selected. I tended to use Zone for Motorbikes and BIF and switch to Expanded if it was struggling to pick the right subject.
Dude your work in the 3 posts in this thread is simply awesome! I love it, in terms of the style, selective focus and blurry backgrounds. I would love to hear more about you achieve this and the processing that you apply also. I know this will be a mix of the kit you use, in terms of fast aperture lenses, but obviously lots of skill and technique to go with it. Thanks in advance.
