■ Diving
Choosing auto-area AF lets you concentrate on composition when pho-
tographing divers and other hard-to-frame subjects. Focus will automati-
cally track the subject while the AF‑ON button is pressed or the shutter-re-
lease button is pressed halfway. For moments when the diver will occupy
an area of the frame with known proportions and dimensions, choose
wide-area AF (C1) and tailor the focus area to t.

■ Artistic Swimming
For events such as artistic swimming (also known as synchronized swimming),
where your subjects change pose with dizzying speed and focus constant-
ly switches from one subject to another, we recommend the ever-adaptable
wide-area AF (S).
