    Focus Mode question

    So as I've been learning the new features of the 30D I have a question regarding what everyone uses for their focus modes. I under stand the difference between "One Shot, AI focus, and AI Servo" but what do you guys generally use for spotting? Thanks in advance.

    Even though AI Servo is best for subjects in motion, I like the reassuring beep that you get in AI Focus.

    Yeah, AI Servo is better for moving objects and what we do.

    I tend to agree with mateo as well, the auditory beep helps.

    But servo is, from what I understand, trying ot extrapolate the subject's next movement so it should give clear images too.


    My fear though is taking a few shots in servo and they are all the same bit out of focus. get me drift?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
