EDIT - Problem solved; had it set to 11fps, not 10fps
I acquired a D4 this week. My wife is doing a Mudderella race (like tough mudder) this weekend so yesterday I slapped on the 70-200 VR1 and took the family in the backyard for a crash course in me getting comfortable with the new body...and blowing the dust off the 70-200 since I so rarely use it.
A few times my toddler came running straight at me, she's a little past 2 y/o so she's not too zippy. A lot of the shots were OOF. I was somewhat motoring on the shutter, but not laying on it. Results were generally; focus, focus, back, back, back, focus, back back, focus, focus, back, back. Basically a lot of back focusing. This had me perplexed so I gave myself a bigger target and used my wife, she slowly jogged straight towards me. Same results, lots of back focusing.
Settings:
AF-C
Release
Dynamic 9pt
Tracking Off
I also switched to 21pt, same results. I cleaned the contacts of the 70-200 to no avail.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? It's basically acting like tracking lock is turned on. I highly doubt it's the camera and it's something I'm doing. It's bang on for slower and/or posed stuff. Bare in mind, I'm a shakey SOB, so that may be to blame. I discovered last night I can turn on the feature to see exactly where I was focused during playback, so this evening I'll have to try it out again.
