And in answer to your question concerning focus points - switch them off (you'll find out how in the manual). Most people just use the centre point, unless they have a real and defined need for a different point.

Thank you thank you thank you.... mmm I knew somehow I could turn off those annoying focus points. Yes I know I should have read my manual long before now.

Hi all,
My name is Lee and I am checking in from sunny Australia. I was so happy to find this forum.
What I am wanting to know if there are any type of mentor type programs on here where an inexperienced user can be matched up with a experienced user to help them get the most out of their camera?
I have had my *ist D for just on a year and I know for a fact that I do not use it to it's full potential. I mainly use it on auto but occasionally venture out to use it on AV.
Lately I just can't seem to get those crisp clear shots that I have seen others take. (ok so not only lately but almost never. LOL)
I don't know if it is my settings. ie knowing the right ISO, AV, etc to use in certain conditions. Or is that I am just a crap photographer.
When I focus it seems to keep changing focus points and I just can't seem to get it right. GRRRRRRR!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
