Dumb question #22

On the XT - or any Canon DSLR - I have the C.Fn4 3 set. Do I push the * button one time to focus on a moving person (sports) or do I push the button and hold it in while I wait for the ideal moment to shoot.

If my question is not clear....when shooting football, do I push the * one time when the ball runner starts or do I continue pushing the * button until the play is dead.

I use the Al Servo setting.

Thanks in advance.

I believe you have to hold it down while tracking the player. That's what I ended up doing while I was shooting a recent soccer game and it seemed to work well, however I ended up just focusing manually as it wasn't fast enough most of the time on my XT.

Hold the button in till you take(or miss) the shot.

Yup, hold it down.

What was dumb question #21, I must have missed it?

commit to the button, the button is your friend.

Thanks guys.

BTW: Question 1-21 were answered by reading other posts.
