Rick - I'm never sure what I've chosen until I see the photos in photoshop either :-)

I've always left the autofocus on the 5 point thingy - but it does seem it might be better to use the single in situations like Pauls rather than
trying to do manual focus with my eyes at this point

Thanks Rick.
True. The single point focus areas of all cameras are larger than what one Sees 
can in the viewfinder, but much selective focus can still be achieved by using 
one point. For example, by choosing a point on the bird far removed from the 
branch, I could be fairly certain the camera was locking on the bird.

Paul, the bird photos the last couple of months have been great. This one is 
too.

Ann, the center focus point on the K-5 is much larger than the little red 
square, and one isn’t entirely sure what it has chosen until one sees the pix.

Cheers,

Rick

I just figured you were on manual!
(note to self - change autofocus setting to single point on K5)

Thanks Ann. I was pleased that I was able to get autofocus to ignore the 
branches and lock on Ms. cardinal. The advantage of single point.
