As the title says. I'm going to a rally cross event tomorrow and will be shooting some shots first time at motor sports. just wondering what the best settings for auto focus might be. thanks rich.
 
AF to AI servo
Single focus point
Shoot TV starting about 1/500th aiming to drop this to 1/250th or lower as you 'get your eye in' (This means that the wheels will still show movement, while the car remains sharp)
Adjust ISO to balance exposure, or use auto ISO

The specific settings in the autofocus menu are probable best left alone until you have had time to understand what they do, the defaults are still more than adequate for rallycross
