Alpine Skiing
Choose settings according to whether the skier is near the
gate or taking air over a jump.
Near Gates
With a slow blocked-shot response
of 5 (Delayed) or 4, the camera may
be slow to switch back to the skier
after focusing on a gate (the effect
varies with the distance between
the gate and the skier). If you want to keep the AF-ON but-
ton pressed or the shutter-release button pressed half-
way for continuous focus, you can choose 2 or 1 (Quick)
for improved focus switching (note that this increases the
chance of the camera focusing on the gate). Alternatively,
you can choose a slow setting such as 5 (Delayed) or 4 and
release the AF-ON or shutter-release button as needed to
refocus after the camera has locked onto a gate.
