Why recomposing with AF cameras is a bad idea

May 1st, 2006 - 11:03:06 AM:

Many AF cameras contain not just a single AF sensor but several of them spread across the frame. However, the central sensor often is of higher sensitivity, larger or in other ways special. So many users of these cameras do not select one of the other sensors when the main subject is not in the center of the frame. Instead they use the following method:

Select central sensor
Focus with the central sensor pointed at main subject
Recompose with AF locked
Release
