Originally posted by Mr Spocko This can cause some problems locking onto subjects you don't want. When I used the K-r to shoot at a concert even making an allowance for this I got microphones in focus and people OOF, ie front focus consistently.
That isn't front focus. That is missing focus. Front focus would be if the camera locked onto the face behind the mic, and the focus of the mic was nailed. This is why I jumped down your throat the other day, you're conflating other issues with the tungsten thing.
You're right about the size of the center focus "point" though. Each AF point is much larger than the indicator you see in the viewfinder. It takes some practice to make the most of it, and even then mistakes can be made.
