But what I don't understand is that the described conditions (1/30 f/4.5, ISO 800) is not that dark, it is about EV6-7. Since that is nowhere near the EV1 AF limit of the Elan 7, I wonder what gives it so much trouble? >
Probably because most of the time, the eyes are shaded ;-) I'll try to get partial metering reading, which shouldn't be more than 2 stops lower than the scene. Also, please note that it's not that it would not focus at all, just not reliably and with lots of hunting. Maybe we shouldn't be arguing about whether Canon specifies EV 0 or EV 1 as the lower limit of AF, we should instead ask Canon for EV -2 feature. :) cheers, BlueSky * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
