Hi Stephen, According to the operating manual, only the central lower sensor is functional with manual focus lenses. If you relied on the lateral sensors to pick up the car when entering the frame, I'm afraid you will be disappointed by the results. Maybe the panned pictures are more likely to succeed. Keep us posted as how well you did.
