Thanks Stan.
I always preselect the focus point. Top point, with the camera in a
vertical position on all of these. Most are in the S mode. A couple
were in C mode. Didn't have much trouble locking in in S mode, so I
stuck with it for the most part, but wanted to try continuous as well.
Of course continuous will allow the shutter to fire even if it's not
locked in. (That's the way I have it set in custom functions. Might
change that.)

Nice!
What AF setting? Are you pre-selecting the focal point?

The sun warmed things up a bit this afternoon so Grace and I went
to the park. I shot a number of action pics. The K-5 seemed to be
able to lock in good focus on 7 to 8 tries out of 10. That's
considerably better than the K-7, which was somewhat better than
the K20D. It didn't nail every shot perfectly -- some included
pretty violent motion right at the camera -- but it never left me
in the lurch. It always locked in. Results for spot and continuous
were similar. Perhaps a slightly higher percentage of misses with
continuous. But operator error comes into play here as well, and
the sample is still relatively small. But I'm pleased.
The first eight pics in this folder are from today. All are action,
except the one of Grace sitting on the rail. A noteworthy
achievement: she tried to sled down the astroturf hill standing up.
First time. Almost made it.
