An old rule of thumb used to be, that the DOF lies 1/3 behind and 2/3 ahead
of the focusing distance. So I guess a little behind is perhaps better than
a little ahead :-).
Here's an example of what I mean, shot with FA*400/5.6. http://www.fotocommunity.com/pc/pc/mypics/501943/display/2142488
I focused on the eye, but as you can see, the eye is at the very back of acceptable focus, while the entire beak is sharp. I wouldn't mind the camera to select a slightly more forward point of focus.
