I will very often get in front of them when they are watching TV, playing a board game, playing a table game (e.g. foosball, air hockey), playing on the computer or a video game, walking through a museum, etc. You'll still have plenty of refocusing to do even in those situations but it is very manageable. When the action is serious (sports, running around outside etc.) then I pull out the F5 with a fast zoom lens, fast auto focus, fast motor drive, and aperture priority. IMHO the M6 just isn't made for that kind of stuff. Peter
