Focus Limiter in camera setting

Setting my focus limiter from 5m. to 70meters "in settings" gave me more in focus shots than out of focus shots in continuous focus mode. I found the distance to the other side of the bank and reduced it by 5 meters to make sure the continuing focus mode would not pick up on the other side of the bank. Mistakes were made but it provided a basis for continuous learning.

That technique seems to be working quite nicely for you.

It certainly speeds up focusing. Thanks, Ken.
