You are going need to adapt to using AI Servo for anything moving. When the subject comes into focus in the viewfinder - fire away. Trust the process.

You might want to check on the AF-ON to help with AF.

Thank you so much, I remember experimenting with back-button focus and, for whatever reason, forgot to get back into that practice. I think maybe I was doing street photography, using a 24mm lens and shooting from the hip using FlexiZone AF. But now that I have this telephoto zoom lens, I'll be far enough away to use the viewfinder.

I feel very fortunate to have so many people sharing their knowledge
