Auto focus making people lazy?
Just my two cents worth for the older members with eyesight problems and for spectacle users: I have recently had a cateract removed from my right eye and now only need to adjust built in dioptre in viewfinder, brilliant. Before this various add on dioptre correction lenses worked for me. Now no lon...

My eyes are terrible. So I use manual control of the camera's AF :) * The shutter release button is set to NOT autofocus on half touch. * I use centre focus all the time * Pressing the AF button on the back engages autofocus. That enables me to carefully select the focus point, but make use ...

My pleasure ;) I've been using this method since the *ist-D... my thumb is the focus, my finger is the shutter - and it's etched into my brain! Can't work any other way now! :lol: This method is cool for kids, fast moving stuff, etc, etc. You can pre-focus with the AF button, then jab the shut...

Thanks ‘Unlocker’, I had a go manually shifting the focus on the DA*300 (and DFA 100mm macro) while keeping the shutter release half pressed and it works a treat. :D I guess once the K10 has initially flagged the focus as ok you can move off focus and the shutter will still fire.

Auto focus making people lazy?
One reason and probably the main one in getting a DSLR is I want to control what I am focusing on rather than let technology take over. Sorry, just don't understand the point. 'I want a fully automated camera to be in manual control' makes no sense to me at all. If you're concerned about technology ...

I liked the split screen focusing on my Super ME, but can't seem to get to grips with the focusing on my *istDL. As (kindly) pointed out by you guys, some of my early pics were slightly out of focus, ( I can actually see that now!). So I've taken to use auto focus as a method of training my eye, but...

Cost wasn't a consideration for me. switching from film to digital, was all about improving quality and workflow. There's alot of hidden costs you didn't have with film.... TIME (editing), computers, memory cards, software, harddrives, cd/dvds, inkjet papers and inks... sure you save on film.....

It must be getting late! 8) The tiger looks fine on my monitor, possibly a little over-sharpened for my taste but we don't know if that is just the resizing for the web that has caused that. The water is quite an odd colour - is that how it was? Nice tight crop.

it's true a properly sharpened file for printing, does look a little overdone onscreen. I think the point in posting the image was to demonstraight that your method works for you. Am I right? one thing you'll see here is not everybody agrees. it's not only here. I was working at a professional ...
