p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Question about AF Area mode for football or hockey | |
It's a little like asking someone what dog breed they prefer. They're all great -- in their own way -- and everyone has a favorite.
When I got my Nikon, just to kick the AF tires, I shot the first half of football games with single point and the second half on Group. I think that's a good approach. I did the math and there wasn't a significant hit rate difference between the two approaches. But I ended up finding that I had more control with single point in the situations where I had to pick a single player out from a pile-up or cluster. So I stick with that now.
But break the games in half for awhile -- it's not like you are going to completely blow it with one vs the other. If there is a difference for you it will likely be small and you'll find a preference.
The absolute best explanation I have seen on the Nikon AF modes is this one, although not directly sports related it is "action" oriented. By the way, if my shots were as sharp as Steve Perry's (the guy who does the video) I would be thrilled, He's great.
