Hello,

I was this days playing a lot with the M6II and while some of my photos were perfectly focused with the 22mm, some of them were not so good.

I am not sure what is the best mode to set the autofocus and how to do it properly.

Do you know any guide/video/tutorial about how to correctly setup the focus and how to properly take photos with this camera? If not, could you give me some tips?

Spot AF with Servo delivers for everything. Nearly a 100% keeper rate!

When you say "manual tracking" it means turning off continuous AF?

yes, that feature can mess up

with servo on, you have continuous af, but it doesn't record .5 sec before shot

just pan to keep the af spot on your subject and blast away - I routinely use 7 fps with a very high (almost 100%) hit rate
