>DagT Sure, that's what it's "supposed" to be. That's what the camera manuals say. Hold down the button 1/2 to focus lock then recompose. But personally, I can't work that way and, believe me, I've tried. But how am I supposed to know what to focus on until I know what I have finally decided will be in the frame? Especially with shallow DOF? So, for me, it's backwards to focus first then recompose; it should be compose then focus. IMHO that is what works for me. The other really doesn't. Marnie aka Doe
