AF-S or AF-C? Why use AF-S?

Hi all,

Apologies if I'm repeating a thread there. Just about to return to the Fuji fold following a dalliance with Sony.

Looking for some advice re focus modes - in the Sony I used an AF-A mode (which automatically selected C or S as it deemed appropriate).

From what I can see AF-C is newer/superior, but any reason to use AF-S on the Fuji?

For info, my typical subjects include children (sometimes still, other times running about), landscapes/sunsets etc. Also reasonable amount of video. Where a camera supports it, I've normally selected Face/Eye detect (but not sure if that was a C or S mode?).

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Alan
