I expect there's enough movement on stage that your subject will go in and out of focus doing that. I find that when using AF with stage performers you need to acquire focus and fire the shutter immediately. If you go manual, then you have to be riding the focus constantly and firing the shutter whenever you think you've got it. -- -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.
