[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 737564, member: 13556"] I'm now much further into my editing, and I'm past the point where I switched from Group AF to Single-Point AF (SPAF). What a mistake is was to change AF modes! My keeper rate with SPAF is next to zero!!!! In a lot of cases, it appears that my initial focus point missed the intended target (easy to do with fast action and SPAF) and my subject interruption setting was long enough, and my hand unsteady enough, to never get or keep my subject in focus. I even abstained from caffeine for a full day in order to reduce any unsteadyness I had in holding the camera. This isn't me finding fault with the camera, but with me. I had some less than acceptable results before when using Group AF, and thought that I could do better with SPAF. I was wrong! WM [/QUOTE]
