Jumps
If you anticipate that the subject will
come into view suddenly and will
not overlap a gate, choose group-ar-
ea AF. Group-area AF uses a selected
group of 5 or more focus points, let-
ting you track your subject in a wide area and ensuring
that even small, fast-moving, and hard-to-frame subjects
can reliably be captured in sharp focus.
