Re: Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM Images & Specs Leak Out
Many people, myself included, find that focusing for macro photography is best accomplished using manual focus and Live View with the image magnified. Kinda hard to do that with the camera turned off, not to mention the fact that for most dSLRs the on/off switch isn't a 'soft touch' which means turning on the camera will alter it's position, and hence alter critical focus with the typical ultra-thin macro DoF. But to each, their own.
