This setting allows obstacles that pass
in front of the subject to be ignored,
as well as focusing on new subjects
With the AF Configuration Tool on the EOS-1D X Mark
II, not only can you select from Case 1 – Case 6, but
three parameters for each can be adjusted individually.
[Tracking sensitivity] is the parameter that can be set to
change AI Servo AF's response to sudden changes in
what the active AF point (or points) are seeing.
The [Locked on: - 2/ - 1] setting tends to ignore subjects
that come into the AF point as obstacles, and continues
to focus on the original subject. Selecting - 2 results in
the targeted subject being tracked for a longer time
before focus changes to the subject now in the AF point.
The [Responsive: + 1/ + 2] setting determines that
subjects that come into the AF point are new subjects to
quickly re-focus upon. It is also effective when you want
to quickly focus on subjects that are hidden and appear
suddenly.
