Thanks.
I can understand the part on moving object.
For off center subject, since there are many AF points cross the image, how do the camera decide which part of the body to focus on, if the camera take the average, then eye could be missed? Or I have to manually set the AF points?
"19 cross-type for F2.8 or faster lens" - Can someone enlighten me what this mean... does it mean that the focus point is supposed to be somewhat faster and more accurate when 2.8 of faster lens is mounted on the body?
If so, strange that for the newer 1Ds3, it's f/2.8 or faster while 1Ds2 it's f/4 or faster - doesn't this mean the Mark 3 limits you more since you need faster glass...
L is definitely a must... but just that I have f/4 L glasses now.Well, if you're shooting with a 1DsMkIII, you really should pair it with L glass to maximize the resolution.

Cheh..... hmmm OK then. Now I know... Thanks.if u use a f/4 lens, only the centre point is cross type.

in fact im quite blur bout AF even after reading so much... for instant.. if i mf... and i select the point already... wad do u mean by re compose? very blur on focus
I suggest you try to read and research on Autofocus if that's really your interest. But the camera will normally focus on high-contrast areas. It can't automatically focus on the eyes for you, that's why you are supposed to manually select the AF point and then compose.
Hi sorry can i query on this issue... when u say compose does it mean .. i select one AF point on the eye... den aeb lock it.. den focus again?
Hi, gentlemen. I was following your discussions with keen interest. I use the 5dMkII.
I like to use the AF point on one side of the VF to focus on my subject, so that I do not need to recompose.
If I may OT slightly. My question is on metering: Personally I find that when use the side AF point and while on spot metering, I review the pictures and it seems that the camera meters on the centre of the VF, instead of on the AF point on the side.
Some CS members have said that the camera will only meter in centre of VF, but my camera shop people say that the spot metering will follow my AF points.
I am a little confused. Can you all advise me?
5DMkII = pro series?it meters on the small circle in the centre. for canon, only the pro series has spot af on selected af point.
