Autofocus Test

This was a simple autofocus test with my Lumix S5, Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN on a tripod. My model was walking towards me at a normal speed as I was zooming out from 400mm to 100mm and reframing. Out of 14 shots 4 were out of focus for a 70% hit rate. This was the first time doing this test and I expect I can do better with some practice and changing my settings. Settings: Auto Focus: Continuous, 1 Area, Drive Mode: Single. I would try Human Detect and Tracking for AF area and LVH (Live View High) for Drive Mode doing this again. Still, I got a 70% hit rate so any higher would be fine.

I wonder how eye detect will work when sunglasses?

I opened all the raw files in Photoshop and added the ISO, mm, F, and shutter speed in the top left corner, resized to 10″ and 75 dpi and save as a jpeg.

Based on this small sample, the AF works fine for me, though I plan to test out the other modes.
