I find AF a drag allover so I am partial. But I've had the 7D and today I'd consider it a very fast el-cheapo sportscam. Low on IQ but great build and UI-wise great usability.
1) I dont think you can
2) Depends on light, lens (and aperture). I use fast lenses and prefer to use them wideopen or close. My std setting is yellow and high, I rarely change. Raise contrast for the screen to full (does not affect images). With it and the EVF unmagnified you can focus fast, you'll see the pattern moving from ear to nose and back. With (quick) tuning you can press shutter when you are at the eyes even if peaking rarely lits the eyes themselves. Also depends on distance of course.
I use the same for any motif really. Doesnt have to be a face but an object anywhere in the screen you want to set focus on. Stopped down shooters should think differently and when there is time I magnify to fine tune exact. That rarely happens for portraits though - if you're not a studio shooter. But then you wouldnt use the 7D, would you? :-)...Show more →
Thanks for the response. I agree with your assessment of the 7d as well. It is fantastic in a lot of ways, but I found the iq lacking unless I was shooting in ideal conditions.
