~~~ Shooting Tips
~
When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus
the eyes.
If you focus the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face will
remain sharp.
~
If it is difficult to focus, select and use the center AF point.
The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points.
Also, with a fast lens from f/1.0 to f/2.8, high-precision focusing is
possible with the center AF point.
~;
To make it easier to focus a moving subject, set the camera to
automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF.
First use the center AF point to focus. If the subject moves away
I
from the center AF point, the other AF points will continue to focus-
track the subject automatically.
