How autofocus works with sport, action, wildlife, etc: "Oh, you want to take a shot right now, do you? Just give me a second or two while I check my full range of focus, just in case there's a point where things are sharper. Wait, I'll check again, you can never be too sure, can you? There, I bet that shot of empty blue sky is sharper than anything Canon could've made."
