I never use the multi-sensor AF. It's an idiot mode as far as I'm concerned. I select a sensor based on what I'm shooting. Sometimes the center, sometimes one at an edge. If, for example, I'm trying to captures portraits in the coffee shop, I'll frequently go for the top sensor with the camera in portrait mode. Same for people walking on the street, although in that case I'll use continuous focus. And with DA lenses, i frequently resort to manual override. In a setting like the coffee shop, where the pace is slow, I'll frequently use manual focus if I'm using an FA or earlier lens. Paul On Feb 1, 2008, at 9:01 PM, Brendan MacRae wrote:
