I am by no means an expert with Olympus but I set it up for tracking much like I would my Sony. Tracking (in my case for people) and full screen rather than smaller box. So far it has worked well for me. I m using an OM-3 but it should be the same. With my Sony I would you use tracking wide but I think full screen is the closest here. - Jim

Yeah, I had better success using full screen earlier. Intuitively it seems like the less it has to search an area it would be more accurate, but who knows.

When you said "focus beep" that made me think maybe not.All good, I've been shooting for close to 20 years now and still will make mistakes like a beginner, keeps me humble...
yeah, that's what I was checking over and over because it was behaving like it was in AF-S. I was in AF-C, but I found the setting I want for the continuous green box. It was in AF Area Pointer menu option, I needed it set to On2 so that it continually showed the green box focus. Back to the yard in a bit to try again if my model feel like running.
Well thanks for your response because you may have solved an issue for me that's been driving me crazy. The green focus box disappearing. Drives me nuts ! I'm gonna check out your fix.

A little underwhelmed so far with the autofocus on my OM1 ii. Early days and I'm probably just spoiled coming from A7rV and A1ii.. Am I expecting too much for it to keep up with my dog running at me which I know is the torture test for a camera. I think it's probably the subject detection but in a series I'm getting about a 60% hit rate and my old girl is more trotting than sprinting. I'm sure a white dog is not a help either. Below are the in focus ones. Usually when it's missing focus it will focus on like the grass or something in the background, so I don't know that it's not "keeping up". Subject detection is on cats and dogs and I have a cross hairs box and small to medium size box. Also, it beeps once when acquiring focus and turns green but does not stay green or give me the rapid little green box focus points like other cameras I've used, is this normal or do I have a setting not on? I've had original OM1 but it's been a few years. Not panning the camera, more panning the user. One of my favorite camera's for "in the hand" feel.https://photos.smugmug.com/FM/i-2KS9ZP2/0/NfrGqt6nVj8GpPw8qGt398ZBRCJPdw2JjQDC3HJST/X2/_8270031-2-X2.jpg

The G9 and PL 100-400 has been a fun combination to get to know these last couple weeks. Went looking for owls, which had moved out, so settled for bugs.

Leica 12-60mm. OM-1 Tripod Hi Res mode, works well in this particular landscape shot with nothing of significance moving within the frame.
