[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 521964, member: 12496"] Do you mean viewfinder or Live View? Very different focus methods. Are you using the center focus point in the viewfinder? There are two types of focus points in the viewfinder, cross type and otherwise type (don't know a better name). Cross type is a dual sensor, and detects focus phase in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Otherwise type is horizontal only, less sensitive in some cases. I think it basically matters about if the edge seen is horizontal or vertical. Camera models with only a few focus sensors may have only one cross type, in the center. Models with many more focus points have several more cross types, but still mostly more in the central areas. The specs chart in rear of manual (section Focus) will specify number of focus sensors , and the number that are cross type. [/QUOTE]
