When I got my Canon 6D II I didn’t change much about how the AF worked initially. Later, I decided to try some different AF settings in the custom function menus to see if I could improve the servo tracking performance of the camera for my uses which is mostly shooting people. What I have found is that some of the settings seem to just make the camera track worse despite what it seems should happen based on the description of the settings. After some experimentation here are my settings that I think work the best to enable solid tracking of people for most situations.
C.Fn II Autofocus
Option 1: Tracking Sensitivity
Set it to “Locked on”
Option 2: Accel./decel. Tracking
Set it to “0”
Option 3: AF pt auto switching
Set it to “0”
Option 4: AI Servo 1st image priority
Set it to “Release”
Option 5: AI Servo 2nd image priority
Set it to “Focus”
Option 11: Initial AFpt, [] AI Servo AF
Set it to “1”
Option 11 is only valid for Phase Detect AF. Before starting to Servo AF simply align the visible AF point with your intended target, such as a person’s face. This is the best way to ensure you get good tracking on your subject.
You can change the starting AF point using the rear AF point selection button.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all.
But imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could definitely be one of the best in its field.
Wonderful blog!

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working
with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
unique. P.S My apologies for
being off-topic but I had to ask!
