a6000 users need to turn three features on for action photography

Dec 30, 2014

One of my friends was frustrated because her a6000 wasn't nailing high speed autofocus like she expected. I checked her settings and she didn't have wide focus area turned on. That would ruin it. You need three things on for best performance: 1) wide focus area 2) AI-Servo 3) AF-C. Here's a video to show you how it works:
