So this was shot with a D5 in D9, burst rate of 12 fps, so less than a second for these. A3 was set at 3. the 2 frames at the peak of the jump, the focus box slipped off him, and I immediately lost focus, once back on his leg I got him back in focus.
I'd be on D9 for this, but be focused on his shirt numbers or the helmet (the best choice but smaller than the numbers.). I may have missed the second shot because the number is obscured and the AF could've caught the yellow helmet, or something else because there's a lot of contrast areas very close by. However, if it' something else is in the same distance (like the green guy's head), it'll go for that before shifting focus. Aim small, miss small.
With D9, if you're focused on a low contrast/detail object like the white leg, if the primary losses AF,any one those surrounding eight points are going to grab whatever they can. If you're not close to focusing on your target, you could get the BG or anything else. Aim small, miss small.
