[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 356470, member: 31397"] I know exactly what you mean about convincing onesself :) thats so easy to do. Anywho , I went ahead and gave the technique a rigorous tryout this weekend ,, and my verdict is ... Its really great, I wish I'd always had been doing it , and I dont know why it isnt the default setting on SLRs. I had the focus lock ON set to its longest, In D51 ( for worst case scenario) Heck that camera followed birds right down into the grass, snagged dragonflies as easily as ever and just in general got suck a nice solid focus lock on everything, and stayed 'on distance' for a donkey that had his head down for several minutes and only briefly raised it. Id say its a tad more stubborn about shifting from one target to the next , as you'd expect, but other than that I was really impressed at what the camera could actually do. Thanks for the tips.[ATTACH=CONFIG]113140[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
