Area Focus
Most of the newer digital cameras include three focusing
modes: Center Focus , Area
Focus and Multi Focus . Center
Focus will focus on the center of the frame.
Multi Focus (aka AiAF and other acronyms)
automatically selects between a number of AF frames
and finds the most contrasty subject in or close to
the center of the frame to focus on. If your main subject
stands beside some other object (behind or in front
of your main subject) of greater contrast, your main
subject will be out of focus. (If you use Multi Focus
as your default focus mode, this may explain why some
of your shots are out-of-focus.) Area Focus
deserves some explanation. I believe it is
a focus mode that few uses, but there are certain situations
where Area Focus is perfectly suited for and can help
you capture the shot.
