[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 192634, member: 12496"] The manual does explain it well, without mystery. D7000 page 91 (also see next page) AF-S For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter release button is pressed halfway.[B] At default settings, shutter can only be released when focus has been achieved.[/B] AF-C For moving subjects. Camera focuses continuously while shutter release button is pressed halfway (predictive tracking to follow moving subjects).[B] At default settings, shutter can be released whether or not focus has been achieved.[/B] My bold part seems kind of a big deal. IOW, there are options, but if shooting in burst mode, AF-C might find focus on the second or third frame, but AF-S is the right choice for almost anything else except motion. Live View is different, cannot follow motion, half press locks focus. Page 50. Focus area (focus points) Page 95 Single point - for stationary subjects (really no other way to describe this, but it is most pictures) 9 point - motion, but when there is time to focus 21 point - sports 51 point - flying birds, etc [/QUOTE]
