Hello,

I don't shoot soocer games but my son's hockey on grass games and I guess it's quite the same. It is challeging but I use AF with face detection but I start with a single AF spot on the center and I have tuned my OK button to place this start AF spot in the middle when I push Ok button.

I also use AF case 2...

Pssst, a straight push down on the joystick will also center your AF point (camera comes defaulted this way).

For the OP… This saves you a button, which lets me use the SET button for “Aspect Ratio.” So when the action gets further away (and Eye/Face detect gets sketchier), pressing SET and invoking 1.6x Crop Mode improves AF acquisition and tracking substantially. You do only get 17 MP tho, but if you were going to crop those distant shots anyway…

Happy shooting!
