[QUOTE="wornish, post: 278470, member: 15434"] The only time I use the multiple AF points is taking shots of something thats moving, so I use a single focus point for most shots. Set the AF setting to single point by pressing the centre button on the lower left side of the camera and rotating the rear wheel to select af-s and also the front wheel to S. For groups shots you need a reasonable depth of field so keep the aperture as high as possible F5.6 or above in good light. Again if hand holding keep the shutter speed as high as you can and focus on the eyes of someone in the middle of the group. You can select which one of the 51 separate focus points to use using the rear 4 way switch. [/QUOTE]
