I don't know how many of you have run across this already, but I think this K-3 AF feature I discovered by accident is rather spiffing.
You know how, when selecting AF points, you can choose between the whole enchilada, or a restricted cluster of 9, or a single point? Okay, you knew that, but let's say you select the small cluster of nine. Now, did you know that you can move the center of the 9-cluster around? If you push the 4-way arrows you can shift the cluster up to the top where -- heavens to goodness! -- it is gathered around the area of a portrait subject's face when you are holding the camera vertically. Major win! Now you can have the best of both worlds: manual selection of AF points and auto-select of AF point; in this case within a smaller area. I guess I would have stumbled on this eventually by reading the manual, but so far its spine remains uncracked. Happy focussing! -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
