Yes, fortunately, manual focusing allows me to focus AND compose and I've actually found myself using manual focus more and more lately. Regrettably, I don't always remember to set the lens switch back to AF. >The reason of these points not to be spread out over the entire finder >area might be hidden in the technical complication of achieving stable >AF tracking performance while passing the subject between different AF >points. I suspect there is some legitimate reason behind it and hope it's not just a lack of thought by Canon engineers or the lack of people even suggesting it to Canon. Sure would love to know the truth though! >Perhaps in some future the technology will allow a stable AF tracking >over the entire viewfinder area without sacrificing the area >coverage... I'm hoping something will do it. I'd be willing to even limit focus tracking to an area like the 45 point zone but just give me a few more outside sensors for focusing only (I guess adding metering to those extra points would be asking too much).
