[QUOTE="madcapmagishion, post: 90278, member: 9159"] Auto Focus is just a general good setting for someone to shoot in. A 'general good setting' is OK some of the times, but not others. Whereas Manual Focus is used for more precise photography. At all times, because you are constantly changing settings as conditions warrant. If you're new and learning set your camera on Auto Focus and 1/2 click your shutter release and note what settings the camera selected then take the pic. Now go back and set your camera to Manual Focus and put in the settings that you took note of when in auto and input them into the camera. But instead of inputting f/5.6 like auto focus did put in f/6.3 or even f/7.1 and take a pic, and compare the pics. Then change the auto focus ISO from 400 to 200 or even 800 and take another pic, and compare them. Then do the same with the shutter speed .... The key is to learn what the different settings on the camera achieve. Take lot's of pics and use a lot of different setting to see what comes out. [/QUOTE]
