This.
Saying autofocus is inferior to manual focus because of this single experience doesn\'t really make sense.
Did I say that?
No. I said this is an example of why I hate AF.
Very different.
It just so happens that this was the first time in a long time that I decided to give AF a chance. Yet again, it failed miserably.
Static subject, ample light, centre focus point directed right on top of the subject. Fail, fail, fail, fail....
If this is a matter of me not knowing how to use AF, then please tell me how I should have tricked the camera into focusing properly.
On second thought, don\'t bother. I won\'t be using it again for a long, long time.
