[QUOTE="J-see, post: 366480, member: 31330"] I'm not different. In macro it's always manual because my lens can't else with this cam but also because even if it could, it's close to impossible to get auto-focus right fast in macro. The cam has no clue what I'm trying to do. The rest I use AF whenever my lens supports it. I'd do exactly the same if it were possible in macro. It's not fun neurotically shifting focus all the time. But that's my point; we use AF because the cam gets it right most of the time even when focus is about the most important part of the shot besides selecting the actual shot itself. Yet, do we know where exactly the cam positions the DOF? All in front of the subject? Behind it? 50-50, 70-30, 10-90? I'd not know and would have to check my images to see what the cam decided. The irony is that we consider this lack of control as being in full control while doing the exact opposite if we switch the dial to S mode. [/QUOTE]
