Keep focus while shooting

Go to solution Solved by Dredgy,

Keep stopping the lens down, by the time you get to F22 everything should be in focus. A wide angle lens will help too.

Or pull focus manually, a follow focus might help, but for continuous shooting fast moving subjects it will require a fair bit of skill, but allows you to constantly change what is in focus as opposed to keeping everything in focus all the time.

They use manual focus. Pretty much for every DSLR you use manual focus for best effect.
