D7100 Focus Points

[JJ!]

So I have come from a simple 9 point AF system and thrown myself in to a multitute of focus points!

For sports (equestrian for me) what focus point method are you using? Single point, small cluster, auto or any of the others.

Any tips would be great!

I haven't ever shot anything like that personally, but I would assume 3D & AF-C would be the best way to go.

This guide is the the D7000 but the concept applies to the D7100 as well

AF-C and Center Focus Point for me when i shoot show jumping and cross country. I don't want the camera taking control. That said i might move the focus point a little off center depending on the shot i want, depends how the fences are setup.

For my type of shooting I prefer AF-C and Dynamic area with 9 focus points

Same with myself for birds in flight etc. works a dream!

I use the same, 9 or 21 points. Tried 51 but found it to be less reliable!
