[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 561178, member: 12855"] Depends on how you shoot, I prefer (on 600, but camera is irrelevant to your question) single, all AF points, release whenever I fully press in button vs focus lock/beep. This way I just stagger the shutter button until I know both I and my subject are exactly in position and focus for the shot. Now this part is FAR more crucial to your quest - you MUST know your lens/zoom range's frame at every zoom level based on where you point your camera with your hand. Only good way to practice is to look through the VF until you get used to the field of view itself, then perhaps use a flash with the red laser assist to help you memorize where the center of the frame will be based on where you point without looking. Rest is just dumb practice. I still get occasional head cuts here and there, but on average I have this blind-shooting pretty down.
