Prefocusing

A technique for photographing moving subjects. You focus in advance on a spot where you expect the subject to pass, such as a point on a race track. You can do this with manual focus or by locking the autofocus. Then you wait. When the subject reaches that spot, you press the shutter button. It is related to zone focusing.
