Okay -this will be a hit and run post - but will check back later. :oops:

Both my husband and I shoot Canon EOS digitals, I have a 20d and he has a 5d. We having been shooting some roping horse and rodeo type images. We've looked through the manual but can't seem to find how to set the SERVO function. Can someone give us the basic "Servo for Dummies" rundown? :confused:Thanks for your help!

Assuming the 20D is like the 5D, press the AF/WB button while the top LCD is showing your settings, and you will see on the right side of the LCD your AF setting (One Shot, AI Focus, or AI Servo). spin the top wheel until it shows AI Servo and you're there!

For future reference, the index in the manual shows the entries for AI Servo, etc. But Servo will not show up.

Page 65 of the manual for the 20D and page75 of the 5D manual.
