"FLR is sufficiently accurate for photographing distant subjects, but it can cause focusing errors, especially backfocus, when photographing subjects within about 15 feet of the camera. This is often the case during portraiture. For optimum focusing performance with close subjects, we recommend avoiding the FLR technique. Instead, use an offcenter focusing point or focus manually." Any idea why FLR should result in backfocus? "Backfocus" from my understanding is when the focus tends to be slightly further than the subject is at. I would think that if anything with FLR, objects closer would be more likely in focus since the distance to the subject is increased (but only ever so slightly) by moving them away from the center of the composition. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
