It is discussing AF tracking and settings that appear to improve the camera\'s ability to lock and hold focus on a moving target. With thanks and/or apologies to those who posted the information, I include a summary here (and I will update it as necessary.)
4 frames per second
C-AF (mixed reports on C-AF-TR)
Center Point Focus Target
JPEG or JPEG+Raw (even if you never otherwise use JPEG!)
VIVID color mode with S +2, C +2 and RGB +2.
(If you never use VIVID for any other purpose, just set it up and leave it with these settings.)
The jury is out as to whether using a larger or smaller JPEG is better, ditto with the focus target size.
The theory is that the camera is using data from the JPEG preview to do its tracking calculations, and the above settings create the highest contrast JPEG.
There is now ample evidence that this is very effective in improving AF tracking performance.
Your challenge is now \"merely\" to keep the focus target on your moving subject

There is an interesting active thread here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1154794
discussing AF tracking and some settings that appear to improve the camera\'s ability to lock and hold a moving target. With apologies to those who posted the information, I include it here (and will update if necessary.)
4 frames per second
C-AF (not C-AF-TR)
Center Point Focus Target
JPEG or JPEG+Raw (even if you never use JPEG!)
VIVID color mode with S +2, C +2 and RGB +2.
The theory is that the camera is using data from the JPEG preview to do its tracking calculations. The above settings create simplest data flow and the highest contrast JPEG - there is evidence that this is very effective.
