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 . |
I do exactly the same with my 400D. I've recently bought a 450D and use the "live view" when taking macro shots - I can use 5x or 10x mag on the live view sceen, which enables critical focussing, also allows me to watch for the moment when the plant stops moving, so I can press the remore release.
