EVF.

The red dot is tricky to get the framing right as I waited for these to get pretty close and the dot is way off at close distances due to it been so high above the lens. What I did was pre focus at a distance I expected them to come into view and pressed the shutter very quicky because keeping them in the frame is very difficult for more than a second or two.
For erratic things I much prefer C-AF + Tr, even though the tracking jumps heaps u only have a second or so to get the shot. I also keep both my eyes open and find it works great keeping the subject in view. U just have to get use to the EVF being a bit blurry.
