[QUOTE="Revet, post: 229713, member: 17612"] I'm sorry to those who misunderstood me, I probably could have worded the thread a little clearer. I don't have a problem getting the eyes in focus, I just found it tedious to do with the camera on the tripod and was wondering if there was an easier way to do it. Since I'm using a flash which will pretty much stop motion, I guess holding the camera in my hands would solve the problem. I put it on a tripod last night because it was a practice session, trying different bounce and power levels, etc. That why I could make the changes on the flash and write things down as I went ( I guess more like I would do as I set up a shot). Once you have your lighting though, I wouldn't have to change much for a portrait setting. I guess a helpful comment here would be, how necessary is it to get the central cross-hair sensor right smack on an eye? Is anywhere on the face pretty good (except for maybe the tip of the nose of Jimmy Durante if your using a really low F stop!!). I guess in reality, if I'm focusing on one eye, the other one might be out of focus. [/QUOTE]
