Originally posted by dragonfly I use multi point, too, but I find that it jumps around from point to point and I don't know which point is going to be next. I might as well be focusing manually.
What I found with my K20D is it's best to use Center Focus Point, and AF-S with rapidly tapping on the shutter button to get the camera focuses faster, or more accurate at the point I want to focus on .
You may notice that you see the subject be sharper through the view finder when it is in focus .
This pic I also used Center Focus Point with AF-S . I followed the bee (it was slow though) and kept tapping on the shutter button until I got the bee in focus then my finger went all the way down to shoot.
As you look at the picture, with all the leaves and flowers, there was no way for the camera to know what I wanted to focus on, if I used Multi Point .
Well, Dragonfly, don't be disappointed in Pentax AF, once you work it out and you'll like it .
Happy shooting .
Best regards Dragonfly
