[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 162403, member: 14629"] Cool - that's a relief. I wasn't looking forward to doing a return. I'm thinking now I should have been on manual focus anyway due to the complexity of the scene. But keeping a constant eye on the viewfinder was out of the question because of my camera placement. The seating arrangements were a real pain. I wanted to seat my family and then set up the camera in the same area as a couple pro's were setup but they wouldn't let me - go figure :p. So I had to set up my camera on the tripod pretty much at the end of range for my 300mm and could only monitor Live View from a foot away down low and try not block other people's view of the stage.
