The current reaction of the K-70 is to freak out and throw my Tamron 70-200's screw drive into rapid convulsions as it becomes completely unable to recognize anything as a viable subject.
I'm hoping that the expanded selectable AF points and the joystick mean that if it does jump to player B (not unreasonable), I could move the focus points to player A quickly (once visible) and hit the focus button to lock on again.
Tracking and especially the depth data and predictions could make this all very interesting. If player B obstructs for only a split second, perhaps the camera will stay close enough to player A's distance to pick them up as the desired subject.
It looks like lacrosse is going to be done here before the K-3 iii arrives. Hopefully will get to shoot some baseball with it yet this spring, but that's a much easier proposition when it comes to focusing. (Still plenty for the K-3 iii to help out with there, but where I get to shoot from involves less crossing of players.)
