Re: K-5 autofocus observations
I think i have mentioned before, that i rarely us AF C but stick with AF S and use a machine gun type of action on the shutter release, doing my own af c so to speak. It worked very well during my equine action days, so i stuck with it. Dave On Sat, Nov 6, 2010 at 7:06 PM, P N Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: Thanks Stan.

Of course continuous will allow the shutter to fire even if it's not locked in. (That's the way I have it set in custom functions. Might change that.)

K-5 autofocus observations
The sun warmed things up a bit this afternoon so Grace and I went to the park. I shot a number of action pics. The K-5 seemed to be able to lock in good focus on 7 to 8 tries out of 10. That's considerably better than the K-7, which was somewhat better than the K20D.

Re: K-5 autofocus observations
Thanks Stan. I always preselect the focus point. Top point, with the camera in a vertical position on all of these. Most are in the S mode. A couple were in C mode. Didn't have much trouble locking in in S mode, so I stuck with it for the most part, but wanted to try continuous as well. Of course continuous will allow the shutter to fire even if it's not locked in. (That's the way I have it set in custom functions. Might change that.)
