p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D4s Group Area AF for soccer


I have the opportunity to use a D4s to shot a few soccer matches this weekend. I've not shot with a D4, or D4s, before. I see the D4s has a new autofocus mode, Group Area. I was wondering if anyone has experience shooting sports with AF mode.

Yep, the new Group Area AF mode works really well with sports :

Well, renting the D4s was a bit of mistake. Now I will be obsessed with figuring out some way (legal) of coming up with the money to by one. As a nascent sports shooter (my kids basketball, soccer and baseball), I have no right to covet this camera but the number of keepers (in terms of focus) compared to what I normally get was significant. The frame rate, compared to my D800, also enabled me to better capture the moment of most significant visual impact.

The likelihood I'll be able to justify spending this much money on my hobby is slim, but one can dream.

First sell the D800. Now you only need 4K. Maybe sell the car and you're there. Easy peasy.
