Hi All,

I shoot olympus (EPL1) underwater and Nikon above. The question isn't as much brand focused as technique, so forgive my switching across terminology below.

Above water I use single point focusing and single servo focus most of the time. I'll swap to continuous servo and single point with 3D tracking if I'm shooting moving things. Underwater I am using continuous and single point with 3D tracking because most everything is moving. It is a bit of a faf to swap modes on the fly so I leave it in continuous. Is there a better option for general point and shoot underwater with moving subjects? I don't want to get into back button focus.

thanks,
rick
