Step #1: choose AF point = SEL. Don't use Auto. That's what I find so frustrating with Point'n'Shits, they *always* focus on the wrong thing. I hate 'em! Step #2: either focus on the center point and reframe, or learn how to quickly shift the AF-point with the arrow buttons. This last thing is what has scared me away from the K-7 and K-5 because they changed this in a negative way and I ain't gonna relearn that. Of course, if you always use MF, you don't need this focus adjust nonsense anyhow. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
