[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 393900, member: 10742"] Depends on which camera/lens combination you're using. Sometimes the auto-focus actually focuses in front of, or slightly behind the focus point that you've selected... Some cameras allow you to calibrate/fine tune the exact spot where the lens focuses... Generally speaking... in situations where the subject (or you) are likely to move, you'll want to take advantage of the camera's ability to use its continuous focus mode... If you're shooting still subjects where you have plenty of time for setup...then manual focus is a good option to get tack sharp images... using plenty of light, and the DOF preview button, you can adjust focus manually to focus on the exact spot you want, while creating bokah in the areas of the frame that are not the focus of the subject...
