[QUOTE="Camera Fun, post: 116961, member: 13006"] Thanks for all the replies and the assistance. I think I'm getting better at understanding focus option so let me know if I've interpreted the following correctly. I grasp AF-S so I'll concentrate on AF-A & AF-C. AF-A single point will be either AF-S (still subject) or AF-C (moving subject) since single point is available in both AF-S & AF-C. AF-A 9 point is the same as AF-C 9 point and will keep focusing until shutter button is fully pressed. Therefore, if a subject had the potential to be moving, I would want to use AF-A 9 point or AF-C 9 point so the camera would allow for some movement. Question: Won't AF-A 9 point and AF-C 9 point produce the same results? In just playing around the house with my camera, it seemed that AF-C adapted to movement better than AF-A but that wasn't a very scientific test. Question: Would there be any advantage to using AF-C set to focus priority instead of release priority? [/QUOTE]
