[QUOTE="AJS, post: 181396, member: 15366"] Hi all, I have just returned from a 2-week holiday which was a perfect opportunity to road test my new Nikkor 35mm f.18 prime lens. I must admit, it did seem to live up to the very good reviews I had been reading. One of my ongoing issues with it though is the AF Area mode settings, which had me going crazy. Often when I had the camera set to AF-S and tried to take a photo of a group of family members, part of the photo would be blurred. I realised quickly that this was because I was setting it to focus one one key area. My question, though, is what setting is best for when there is more than one primary subject in the shot - like 3 or people's faces? In this instance also, would people suggest using continuous focus mode, or should single still be ok, given that they are presumably still? I'd really appreciate any help and suggestions.
