Has anyone set their CF. 20 to setting 2 (moderately slow) or 1 (slow) and what results have you gotten?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

That disables the "hunt for focus".  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I find that my "N" doesn't hunt nearly as much as my older MKII.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Well actually it might, if hunting is caused by someone running between player you are shooting and your lens, but otherwise it won't help with your problem. Cf 20 switches speed or better time left for af to switch to new object which came between lens and original object. I keep it on slow, since usually those things which come between are not something I want to focus on, so focus stayes longer on original subject. As far as Pf 14 goes, personally I don't really like it. To many times I get feeling something is not working, since there's no af movement :) But I agree that it can be usefull.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
