Hi all,
I've been wanting to try to be able to quickly set my focus points where I need them while handholding, looking through the viewfinder....and shooting.
I saw a guy on CreativeLive that shoots weddings, and he says he does this quite a lot, rather than try to focus and recompose...
I think I'd like to do that too...but man...I just can't seem to get it to work well for me...as that every time I have to push the 3rd from the right of the 3 buttons top right of the back of the camera to activate the AF point changing...and then with my thumb...move the joy stick around to move the focus around.
Is there a way to fix the camera so that all you have to do, is move the joy stick and not have to hit that button first every time? I could do this if I didn't have to click that button THEN move the joy stick for every shot.....
I've not found a way around this....anyone have a suggestion or setting I may have missed?
Does anyone else do this...or do most people try to focus then recompose...click the button down halfway to focus, move over...then finish clicking all the way down to trip the shutter?
I'd heard some people don't like to focus and recompose, since with the spherical nature of the lens...that focus and recompose can sometimes lead to soft images...?
Thoughts? Suggestions? How do you do it?
I'm talking single shot at this point...no AF servo.......
Thanks in advance,
cayenne
