Here's some troubleshooting you can do to see if it's just a settings thing or if it's the camera...
For action in AF.C, set it to release priority. That way, the camera won't care if it's in focus or not.
Make sure that the AF option (viewfinder shooting) is set to "drive lens" when AF fails.
The other thing is are you bursting your shots?
Say 5 shots, track subject for a second, burst 5 more, track for a second, burst 10, etc. That will be faster than the buffer can clear so you'll hit the "buffer wall" and you'll have to wait until it clears (look at the orange led by the card door to see if it's active). If the led is active, then the camera is processing images/data (clearing the buffer). Once the led turns off, the buffer is clear for another 32 max shots or so.
Hi Kobie, Thank you for your suggestions. I will change from Focus priority to Release priority. I am doing both, bursting and just shooting H on AF.C. I will pay attention to which way makes it do stop and watch the LED. I talked with a technician today from Ricoh Imaging. She had me reset to factory settings, I then re-did my settings for sports photography (AF.C on H, RAW DNG, etc.). I shot a Section Track meet today for high schools and it was a bit better.
Thank you so much for your help...and your great videos!
