The AF on the camera is pretty good, but to get the best from it for specific subjects then it helps to make some adjustments to the default settings. Please explain the settings you were using, or share an unedited image on dropbox or similar that can be downloaded to show the settings in Canon DPP

Secondly the way to take less photos is to press the shutter less often, and or use a slower drive speed. Shooting in the default electronic shutter at 30fps is a lot of photos every second. You might try to either use one of the slower drive modes, and even adjust the frame rate for continuous shooting. It is also possible to setup a button to switch drive mode if you suddenly need to use a higher speed but otherwise keep slower shooting speeds.
