Hi, a newbie here. I am not having much luck yet when I use Manual Mode. I'm only having about 35% success when focusing on my subjects (the others being a light bit to far or to close). I'm wondering if I need to go get my eyes checked, it's been a few years or so since I bought these glasses.
Anyhow tomorrow I am taking a bunch of photos of folks at a family gathering at a park. There will be some group shots from 4 people to 9 people.
I'm not sure how to make certain I get everyone's face in focus when using the Program modes (or Manual for that matter).
I'm thinking I need to use the Landscape Mode but I really would like some bokeh behind the folks when I photograph them.
Is there a way to use the Portrait Mode with multiple focal points? Or multiple focal points in Manual mode and I'll hope for the best?
Can anyone help me out with some suggestions? Thank you
I have a Nikon D3200, the kit lens, a 35mm 1.8 fixed, and the 70 - 300mm
