When I first got my 1dx I read all about the different focussing choices, methods, recommendations even though I had my 5d3 for several years already.

so out I went on safari and listening to all this advice guess what I had less keepers than with my 5d3....

then suddenly I thought f this, I'm gonna go back to one point servo and just let the camera do all the rest,no clever settings etc at all

now I get the best AF I have ever used. Most days 100%.

it's a learning curve.....

Good post. I've had to do this from time to time myself. Sometimes all the research and opinions just get ya buried in the weeds and you need to go back to basics. I love all the AF options, but it is easy to shoot yourself in the foot.
