[QUOTE="Oscariotrix, post: 122839, member: 12490"] Yeah, I have a good understanding of the electronic processes involved, what sensor does what, what motor does what and most of the underlying infrastructure. On the flip side, camera electronics don't just read a photographer's mind trying to guess what needs to be sharp and what can be blurred out... I often whack the camera into Auto mode; Covering a wedding or the like isn't very suitable to play around with M/P/A/S modes when you can't exactly risk losing "that" moment; And it's just in Auto mode I experience this AF inconsistency situation... Setting it to Single Point and... ...is what I've been doing for ages, and is what gives me the best results in the long run, if not one or two mis-framed shots. Setting the camera into the other AF modes is a bit of hit-n-miss thing that often gets good results, but occasionally doesn't, and here's where I think it's all due to my own error... I had a Canon AE1-P some 25 years back, and never experienced this type of problems with their AF modes (well, other woes involved)... Anyways, thanks for your answers & thoughts. [/QUOTE]
