Trouble with focus on sport setting

Bevhoward

Sometimes I don't get the blinking red light to let me know I am in focus. I end up with a few out of focus images and would like to know how to correct it.

Hi @BEVHOWARD,
I am assuming that the 'blinking red light' you are referring to is the AF point in your viewfinder. One of the downsides of using the basic zone Sports setting, is that the AF operates once when you first press the shutter button, and then becomes erratic as you track your subject while continuous shooting, especially if the subject is moving at different distances from the camera (like a child running in a zigzag line).
You will achieve much better pictures by taking some control of the camera.
Read up on TV (shutter priority) and AI-Servo.
