[QUOTE="aroy, post: 660413, member: 16090"] I find that not using auto or P mode is the best method of controlling the situation. I normally shoot with the following settings . Aperture priority. Set to F8 when I want a large depth of field and down to f1.8 when I want extremely shallow DOF. . Fixed ISO. 100 in sun, 400 in overcast and 800 else where. . Single point Focus. I find that this ensures that the focus is where I want it. In case of your dog image, I would set focus on the nose or eye. In Other modes, especially auto the camera can focus where it thinks you want, say the tree behind. . Spot metering. This ensures that the metering is where the focus is. With modern DSLR the Dynamic range is large enough to recover shadows or highlights if you shoot RAW. Only when using a fill flash I use Matrix metering. [/QUOTE]
