I\'m wondering if other shooters using the 1D IV with long lenses have tried CF III-2? That is the setting recommended by Peter Reid Miller in his SI settings: AF Expansion to Surrounding points.
In the past on my 1D III I seemed to get the best results with Single Focus point and no expansion. BUT the problem I always had was when the subject (usually soccer/football/lacrosse player) was distant and was \"small\" in the frame...the focus point would sometimes slip off the subject and onto the background. Today it hit me--could it be that on the IV, with CF III-2, that when the focus point slips off the subject one of the surrounding points would then pick up the subject, hence maintain focus on the subject...and not go to the distant background?
I will try it but if the experience of others is out there I\'d like to know!
