Re: Autofocus settings

I mostly use auto focus, single point, spot. Works fine for me. M focus occasionally if I am trying to thread the sensor through the undergrowth. K110D, K7 & K5 all the same. Alan C On 25-Feb-21 07:59 AM, Larry Colen wrote: On Feb 24, 2021, at 9:54 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: I just turn

Re: Autofocus settings

I use single point autofocius S to shoot birds perched in trees. The single point allows you Leo focus on an eye. I don’t se autofocus C (continuous) to shoot birds in flight. Single point for the most parr. Paul > On Feb 24, 2021, at 10:26 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > Just like Arthur Dent

Re: Autofocus settings

Really depends on what I’m shooting and what I want to focus on, but I let the abbreviations be my guide: AF-S - Autofocus Serendipity AF-C - Autofocus Chance AF-A - Autofocus Anything In the Olympus world, which is where I mostly live, you can set the cameras up to recognise and focus on an

No, not some stained glass from Bulent’s neighborhood. I realize that this sunny 70F weather is going to turn around and bite us in about 6 months, but I took advantage of it to go for a bike ride this afternoon. I’m particularly fond of this one:

Autofocus settings

Just like Arthur Dent and Thursdays, I’ve never really gotten the hang of autofocus. I think that I’ve pretty much bludgeoned autoexposure into something resembling submission, but getting my camera to autofocus correctly, on what I want it to is at best a stochastic exercise. On my K100,

Thanks for asking.Grace is doing well. She’s 16 and has become an excellent artist. I will post some of her work when I have a minute. She moved to Texas with her mother several years ago. Broke my heart, but I always new she wouldn’t be here forever. I’m thankful for the 12 years we had,

Re: PESO - Sledding in the Park

You haven't mentioned her lately. I hope she's doing well. She's a teenager now isn't she? (IIRC, my niece is the same age, born in 2003 wasn't it?) That photo ... I bet the sound (kids having fun) was wonderful. Nowadays I don't get to hear enough of it. We never got to do much sledding
