Re: AF or MF?

Hello Lee firstly what camera do you have?
Myself I use both depending on circumstances,I have the Canon400D and have selected the center focus point for use, and this is focus point I use all the time I also set the focus to A1 servo so if the subject is moving slightly the focus keeps locked onto it.
The manual focus I will use if the subject is in the trees and there is a chance that I may inadvertently focus on a branch in front of it ,in this case I wouold use manual to ensure I get correct focus on the bird other than a branch.
But the majority of the time its on AF and A1 servo and I have no problems
I also wear glassesand do not find this to be a problem .
