Jonathan ,one of the few useful things I have read about this
Out-of-Autofocus is to supress the focus points except the central one, and
jump to manual for off -centered subjects. Don't know if you have tried
this one.
I always felt the problem was more than just miss focus so did not experiment much but returned the camera. It was as if the chip itself was not where it should have been. With the 1Ds I have found that I have completely forgotten any worries about focus.
Also I would like to know if you have tested the SERVO focus
system for moving subjects, which I consider is quite a piece of engineering
from Canon, way better than regular AF
As much as I find outofocus a practical thing, I still use manual focus for
most of my shooting and I get better results, or at least more to my liking,
since I know where I was focusing and not where was the camera choosing a
focus point. This dates back to my film workflow.
Same here but I have found the 1ds to be so good I have started using the autofocus more and more.
A stock shooter friend of mine had the same situation with a 10D and he
was not even able to get perfect manual focus, but the replacement camera
showed up perfectly is now an overnight digital convert.
Sound like mine
All the best
