Instant AF-Area Mode Selection
Group-area AF is a good choice when
your subject is in the lead, but it may
continue to focus on the leader even
when your subject is back in the pack.
For rapid AF-area mode selection
when skaters switch positions, as-
sign AF-area mode to the lens focus function buttons using
Custom Setting f1 (Custom control assignment) > S Lens
focus function buttons
(page 26).
