[QUOTE="nickt, post: 659425, member: 4923"] Cindy, don't forget you can view the focus point that was used by turning that feature on in your camera's image review. Or see the points after downloading if you use Nikon software. I used my newly setup U2 Saturday with d9, af-c, focus priority and shutter button focus. I was out back trying to get a picture of some swans and a young eagle circled high overhead. I switched to u2 and fired off some shots. The shots were all not too bad. They could have been sharper, but not trash. The Nikon software showed me that my focus point missed almost every time. This could have been my bad panning or the speed of the d7100 to take the shot after achieving focus. I tried to keep the bird centered every time I pressed the shutter. Not always successful. Also 1/1250 was probably a little slow for a flapping bird with my 150-600mm. I tried on some seagulls too. I got several half gulls in great focus, lol. Hard to pan and keep them in the frame. I need to try higher than d9 and auto area and 3d. And play with menu a3, ugh.
