Nor did I particularly, Bipin. More critical for me is the loss of focus inherent in the focus-and-recompose method. I use it and it's fine at f/8 for example, but not at f/1.4 and is iffy in between depending on the circumstances. For myself, with really fast-paced motion I switch to manual focus and rely on dumb luck to get a few in focus. I also try to maximize the DoF with high ISO and as small aperture as I can manage. > So how do you manage to switch focus point with the 4-way controller > when the dancers are moving about pretty fast? Practice, practice, practice. :-) I can move that thing around on the K20D pretty darned quick, like Paul describes, with the thumb. -- -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.
