Thanks Distinctly Average & spec68.

Spec68, ok regarding lack of contrast and sharpness but can this explain the autofocus errors ?

(photos taken at 9:30 a.m.)

Look at where the focus reticule is in relation to the subject. Much of it falls outside so there's more room for AF error.

I don't understand why the AF box is wrong placed. Because during the shot the box seems to follow correctly the subject ... Is it too fast maybe ?

Seb , in the heat of the moment it’s all too easy to slight shift the camera off the subject and also just pressing on the shutter button could cause the slightest bit of camera movement.

yes but i thought that the whole point of automatic subject tracking was that you just had to follow the subject in the viewfinder with the shutter button left pressed during the burst and the camera did the rest ...
