I've been reading a lot more since getting my D7000 on focus and focus modes. I've been shooting for years switching
back and forth between AF-S single or AF-C continues focus modes and I've read a few references to using 9 point
AF-C all the time so lately I've tried it and I have to say the results have been really good. AF-C with lock on.
AF-A auto seems erratic to me I don't like it because there seems to be a lot of change for it to be affected.
Anybody use AF-C 9 point with focus lock all the time? Right now anyway it just makes sense to me. Single point and
continuous both let the shutter release when focus is achieved but if you or the subject slightly moves -S won't refocus
and -C will on a 1/2 shutter.
9 point is the thinking that is will track better than single point focus and anymore than 9 point gives a chance of loosing focus
to something you don't want.
I'm always looking for something new and to get more keepers.
