I would have thought you would want this set to continuous AF (enabled) for tracking BIF shots ?

Feb 12, 2015 14:55 | #3 I think not. This setting, if I read the manual correctly, has the lens trying to focus all the time, whether the shutter or back button is pressed or not. This will drain your battery pretty quickly. For BIF you want to use AI Servo focusing, which enables continuous focusing only when the shutter or back button is pressed (depending on how you have set up your controls). The continuous AF may let you grab focus more quickly for that first of a series of BIF shots, but perhaps not. For me, the continual efforts to focus would be distracting, and would remove an element of control that I would rather not lose.

In that case, certainly not for BIF, since live view is not much good for BIF.
