[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 339012, member: 9240"] Without sounding like a wise-ass and just telling you to [B][I]read the manual because it explains everything[/I][/B] I'll simply say this... "Auto" = Let the Camera make the decision "Non-Auto" = Let the Human make the decision 5, 9, 21 = Number of points that the human can decide between when moving the selection cursor When the camera lights up multiple focus points, it's because with the chosen aperture they are [I]all[/I] in the same focus plane, not because it is trying to focus on all of them simultaneously. When you move your focus point (which [I]starts[/I] in the middle, but [I]you[/I] [I]get to move it[/I]) it's to the point in the composed frame that you want in focus. The center spot is the default start position and you can only ever get one point. BTW, if you find you can't move the point, make sure the lever on the back isn't on 'L' before you ask (that's in the manual too). [/QUOTE]
