EOS R6 Mark II AF case setting for indoor wrestling

xzebra — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 15:36:28 GMT

Looking for advise with Canon R6 MK II indoor wrestling.

What AF case do you typically use?

Which AF Method would you use it with 1-Point or zone, or single point?

Greetings,

My preferences 1 point with an aperture setting that will provide appropriate depth of field and exposure.

For photography I typically shoot Av, Tv or Fv. Not sure if I understand what you mean by Auto or Case 2?

Ah, thanks for clarifying.

For wrestling Auto is probably fine since movement is fairly concentrated.

I would probably start with Case 1, but Case 2 might work better if you are following one wrestler. I would start with one point, but you may want to try the Expand AF areas, they might work better on quick movements.

I've not shot wrestling with my R6 MKII, I use Flexible Zone AF3 for birds in flight and it does well, but with wrestling I think you can start more precisely.

If you have a free custom shooting mode set it up to where you want to start and make changes as you shoot. If you have more than one set up a couple of scenarios and test back and forth and tweak til you have what you want.
