nx300: fastest possible af for kids photography
1

my daughter is one year old and she continuously move around. The nx300 is much faster than nx200 in focusing with the 18-55mm, but some fast lenses like 30mm and 85mm are much slower in focusing speed.

Which is, in you opinion, the best mode? Today I tries the following: face detection af + continuous focusing + tracking af (dunno if the latter actually works in conjunction of the first two, i.e. once face is recognized and shutter half pressed, does it follow the subject?).

Anyway, using a fast shutter (e.g. 1/200 with 30mm and 1/500 with 85mm) "some" pics (say 20 to 40% with 85mm and 30mm respectively) are fine and sharp and another 10-20% is slightly out of focus but still usable. Is there any other trick I could try to further improve the success rate?
