Generally aircraft are shot with a pretty neutral background and are far enough away, they don't need any focus tracking. The main problem is panning.<span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="IMG_1667_cropsm.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/18784iAB295256045FA5BC/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="IMG_1667_cropsm.jpg" alt="IMG_1667_cropsm.jpg" /></span></P> Tue, 18 Jan 2022 17:08:16 GMT kvbarkley 2022-01-18T17:08:16Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-R3-Subject-Tracking-on-Aircraft/m-p/360486#M85009 <P>Should I use vehicle tracking as my subject when shooting aircraft in flight (i.e. will the camera recognize an aircraft when "vehicle" is specified)?</P> Tue, 18 Jan 2022 16:49:29 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-R3-Subject-Tracking-on-Aircraft/m-p/360486#M85009 tjblank1957 2022-01-18T16:49:29Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-R3-Subject-Tracking-on-Aircraft/m-p/360488#M85010 <P>Have you tried it?

I think what you are saying is to turn off subject tracking for aircraft in the air. But what about aircraft near the ground (e.g. take off roll), should subject tracking be turned on there?</P> Tue, 18 Jan 2022 17:13:33 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-R3-Subject-Tracking-on-Aircraft/m-p/360489#M85011 tjblank1957 2022-01-18T17:13:33Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-R3-Subject-Tracking-on-Aircraft/m-p/360490#M85012 <P>Your best bet is to experiment.</P> Tue, 18 Jan 2022 18:20:05 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Canon-R3-Subject-Tracking-on-Aircraft/m-p/360490#M85012 kvbarkley 2022-01-18T18:20:05Z
