Place the camera beside the sand pit to capture athletes in mid-
jump.
Long Jump (Side Shot)

Focus mode AF‑C

Auto capture settings
[Capture criteria] [Motion]
[Advanced: Motion]
[Direction]: Upper right to lower left, right to left, and lower right to
upper left
[Speed]: [3]
[Subject Size]: [2]
The options listed for [Direction] assume that the subjects will be crossing the frame from right to
left. Specifying the direction prevents shooting being triggered by people in the frame moving in
the opposite direction.
Taking [3] as your reference point, adjust [Speed] and [Subject Size] according to subject speed
and size relative to the frame. Users of wide-angle lenses, in particular, will need to choose smaller
sizes to reflect the subjects’ smaller apparent size.
The camera may detect that the subject has stopped moving and end shooting at the top of
the jump or at the landing. This can be prevented by choosing a shooting time using [Timing
options]> [Recording time selection].
