Re: Shooting moving subject (walking) at f/1.8 - poor hit rate in indoor light

In reply to m_appeal, 6 months ago

Try AF-C 9-point. 9-point worked best best for me when tracking in low light (Though that was with a D700 and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II for a single assignment). Not sure how low you're talking, however.
