My Canon 5DIII impressions Part 3 - Servo

So the Canon 5DIII is rated for 6fps with a very customizable Servo mode. It allows 6 ways of tracking your subjects with each mode customizable in 3 ways. That's a lot of ways. The shots below was done on the standard tracking mode.

Canon EOS 5D Mk. III + Canon EF 50mm F1.2L USM | 1/250 sec, f/1.2, ISO 100

The  camera now has a big depth of field preview button at the bottom right hand side of the lens mount. It's easily reached with my middle and ring finger. It's also customizable so I set it to go to servo mode when it's pressed. And that's how I shot these. It took getting used to and a few times but once nailed I think it works admirably.

I wouldn't try this with the 60D and the 50mm f1.2. The lens is slower to focus with that camera.
