Okay, that's what I thought I had to do. Thanks

I have kinda noticed that the center focus point is usually more sensitive on my camera and it has happened that while only using one of those outer focus points to trying to focus on a dark area my camera wouldn't focus at all. I am sure it's even more noticeable on your XTI so you may want to choose the center focus point when try to take portraits or whatever in low light.

yeah its the same on my xsi as well, high precision focusing when using f/ 2.8 or below on the centre point

well the problem is my lens only goes up or down or whatever to f/4.0

Yea, I will probably use it. Kinda hard to use the corner piece. lmao.

i think my kit lens goes to 3.5 which is still no good

and if i remember correctly i read someware that all ur 9 points are high precision focus at f/2.8 and ur centre is extreme precision at f/1.8

lol Well they can come handy when you don;t want to have your main subject in the middle. Like a sunset portrait or something like that. I guess it takes some practice to get used to only using one selected focus point.



yeah... That's why you have to buy expensive lenses for good bodies . It's pretty much like buying luxury cars you have to get those luxury accessories for your car too course you don't want to put a crappy vintage radio with cassette thingy player that cost like 20 bucks in your 50 grand car right?



Well I hope you know what you are doing course I won't feel sorry for you if you come in here and cry about you accidentally dropped your camera or the strap snapped when you were tossing your camera lol jk

omg!!

i bet the vista auroras and stuff like that is just Bill Gates tossing a camera round in a room of different coloured lights

they do look pretty awsome though!
k im off to toss my camera

LOL. Probably.
Be careful, I'm not liable if you damage your camera



on another note, does anybody know how to set more than 1 AF point??
(Like, 2 AF-points??)
I'm not sure if it's possible, but perhaps...maybe somebody knows?

not its not, because if you try and set the left and the right point simultaniously (for example), and there are two objects that are no way near the same depth then which point should you use? you can only use 1. If you have 2 subjects just focus on one, and use as small a aperture as required to get them both in focus.

Dont worry i wont break it. it seems to be pretty tough anyway ive dropped it from 5 foot a couple of times and all its killed are a few pixels on the lcd which are now dead
