The centre one is the strongest and I've found that its the best one to use for getting the eyes in focus. If you keep having problems switch to manual focus, takes a little longer to fiddle with but is pretty fool proof. Depending on the background the autofocus can have trouble deciding what to focus on and keep zooming in and out (more in landscapes than portraiture and esp at night when its just black). You may also have lens which is slow to autofocus (my 18-250 is slow and its really annoying because you have to wait for it to focus before pressing the shutter button. I think you are being impatient (or nervous). I assure you that I'm having all the same problems.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-63122980839714760202009-07-07T08:39:25.389+10:002009-07-07T08:39:25.389+10:00Yes, I am using autofocus.

For over the weekend I had that little pattern of lights set to just one spot in the middle rather than all 9 of the points.<br /><br />Do you think that is the cause? That I was not putting the spot on his eyes?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-52573577415939973372009-07-07T07:53:19.243+10:002009-07-07T07:53:19.243+10:00Are you using auto focus, and if so do you have a ...Are you using auto focus, and if so do you have a series of focus brackets that light up?carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787018321269238581noreply@blogger.com
