Recentering to Target Heading Not Working as Expected?

I'm using CM as a 3rd person camera, with targeting and all. It works great, except that when I get in close, the camera takes a while to recenter. It obviously knows where to go - but my character moves faster than it can keep up, even with very small recentering times. I'm not really sure where to go from here. This is my first CM set-up so I might not be using the best cameras for the job, but any direction at all would be much-appreciated.

Here's examples of the system at work. The third image shows what I mean - the guy in the bad samurai outfit is the player. If I stop moving the camera takes anywhere between 5 and 20 seconds to figure out where it's gotta be. To be clear, I'd like if the camera stayed more consistently behind the player.


Thanks for any and all help with this.

 

I made a video of how this is currently working. the 3rd person free camera is perfect, but the lock-on cam lags behind too much. Nothing I've done has so far made a difference.

 

Thanks for the response!

I tried what you said, though it still doesn't work. I don't use an input axis to determine camera position - at least not for now. When the camera is locked, I want the camera to always point at the locked target from behind the player. I don’t think the player should need access to X- or Y-axis control for that, right?

If the axis speed is supposed to work independently of axis input, though, I can confirm that’s not what’s happening in my project at least. Setting the speed arbitrarily high on either setting has no apparent effect with no input axis.

 

After some help from Gregoryl in DMs I was able to get the desired functionality. I wasn't able to totally ascertain the precise reason why my cams didn't work as I expected, thought it definitely has something to do with using the FreeLook camera, or at least how I was using it. I switched the lock-on cams to VirtualCameras and was able to work my way to achieving the desired functionality messing with the VirtualCamera's settings with the help of a test project Gregoryl made. Thanks again for your help!
