[QUOTE="nickt, post: 146370, member: 4923"] I tried a couple new things, bird in flight (a big slooow bird in flight, lol) and stepping outside my comfort zone of single point focus. I thought I had the focus thing all figured out, but now I am uncertain. I was in AF-S Auto area. I should have been in AF-C, right? I think AF-C would have attempted to keep the points on the bird as I held the shutter. Instead, the points are where the heron was when I first pressed the shutter? These 2 shots were part of a 3 fps burst and the camera probably did not refocus. Am I analyzing this correctly? And what specifically is the screen shot telling me with all the focus points shown? Is it confirming that the camera 'believes' all those points are on the same plane and are in focus? Or is it maybe trying to find a median focus point among all the points? I am very used to just using one focus point. Thanks for any tips.
