A few from Thruxton on Sunday. All SOOC jpegs. I was a bit more comfortable with the camera than my last visit, which was my first attempt at motorsports with the G85. If you read this Ian, I ended up with a single focus box after your suggestion, and it seemed to give me more success. Thanks

Great series!

Nice set of images. I think the trucks should be pulling trailers, preferably doubles or triples. That would be interesting.

Very nice set. Are you using caf or saf?

Thanks Dan, I'm using CAF.
Just to add to that, I found that only the first photo in a burst would come out reasonably well, the others seemed to miss focus. I don't know if that was a limitation of the CAF or me though.

Nice pictures. I don't think I've seen truck racing like that. That's awesome. Are those trucks specifically for racing or do they dual duty as work trucks as well?

Can't speak for Panasonic, but the CAF on my EM1.2 seems to work a whole lot better if I slow down the continuous shooting speed to 4 frames a second or less (my preference is 3). The bonus is that you have less photos to edit after a day out.

Cant remember the name but have you got the refocus setting at its fastest, it could help with getting more of the burst sharp.

They are heavily optimized for racing, though I suspect the racing regulations insist they are capable of towing.
