Just adding to my post a few minutes ago, I don't understand why CH is there if it can't cope with moving subjects. Kind of begs the question "what would you use it for?". Ian

I guess I am just accustomed to being able to track subjects on high frame-rate with Canon viewfinder and predictive focus. It seems that the XT-1 just isn't a system for sports and other high-speed subjects, including birds that move! I am beginning to wonder why they produced the 100-400 lens. Not sure where I go from here. Ian

Thanks for the reply. Sounds as though your experience is not unlike mine. It seems like I may be expecting too much. If so, it will be interesting to see what the imminent(?) X-T2 is like. The rumours suggest significant improvements to auto-focusing. Like you, I will be interested to hear any other comments/suggestions. Ian

Hi I have just sold my pro-level Canon gear and moved to 2 X-T1's. I was shooting at a horse cross-country event with the horses coming directly towards me over a jump. I have done this type of work regularly with canon gear and always got excellent results. Unfortunately, my success rate with in-focus images was abysmal. I guess that I am not using the correct setup as I am sure that the X-T1 can do this successfully. I was using a 50-140 and a 100-400 lens on AFC and CH. Shutter speed varying between 1/1250 and 1/1600. I tried Single Point and Zone focusing. Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong? I am due at another event this coming weekend (motorbike racing) and would like to be more successful! Thanks Ian
