Absolutely right Tom - I focused on a fixed point and shot at 11fps as my wife threw the dog's toy past me. I have a number of more engaging dog poses - completely mid air for example - where she wasn't in the plane of focus.

It's one of the reasons I got the SL, to be able to get this sort of dynamic shot, my M240 wouldn't have made it so achievable.
