Newbie Question on Focusing in Sports Photography
Hi:
I've just started out in sports photography and shot my first soccer game last Sunday. I use the AI Servo mode to auto focus and select the centre focus point to track the subject.
I would like to do recomposition to place the subject off-centre and AI servo would switch focus. How do you use AI Servo focus in such a situation? Is AF focus the only option?
Also, I would like to know if other focus points are able to track using AI servo mode. If it is so, I can at least try to select focus point other than the centre to achieve some form of off-centre composition.
Really want to find out how to take off-centre shots for fast moving subjects.
Please do share any other techiques you use for sport photography! Hope this is not a silly question. cheers!
