1. no use recomposing with dynamic area, unless of cos the subject when recompose is not within the area.
2. why dont u use single point? why trust the camera to focus on what u want when it might not?
3. and AF-ON is the same as pressing ur shutter half-way to focus and will track in AF-C...if u had even tried u would already know.
if u want to recompose in AF-C, what u need to use is AF-lock.

Single point ? But i tot only used for shooting still object?

Use single point , will out of focus wor , if the object moving

hmmm i think nvm lar , thanks for teaching. I will try to find answer in google thanks u

have u ever heard of panning? and what are u trying to shoot anyway?is it a fast moving object? i cant understand when u said u r trying to recompose moving subject


Added on March 20, 2011, 8:45 pm
usually it happens when u use it wide open. example f1.8/f1.4. it'll go away if u use smaller apertures.

seems to me u dont understand what AF-C is.
C = continuous, as long as the point is on the subject it will focus.

eg. the pic below is AF-C, single point, but moved to the right side focusing on the stomach so it will be on the player.

Everdying, thanks for clearing me. I tot you talking about AF-S. My bad for not understand you.

So with AF-C+Single point , i can recompose my subject right ? Let say i am using center focus on my subject which is on middle in my viewfinder , so i wan to recompose it to right. So is that works ?

in what situation using dynamic area?

It will work, in fact today i forgotten to change my selector switch to AF-S and still got in focus shots  smile.gif

Alright thanks you very much Bliz.

Everdying thanks you again

I use my hand test just now. Using AF-C + Single Point. As long as you half pressed and follow the subject then u will stay in focus. While if using AF-C + dynamic, if my subject leave the point where i focus , it will select a new point to focus it izzit?

u cant in AF-C and single point, cos once u center focus on ur subject and move, and since its AF-C the focus will then readjust to whatever is in the new center...unless u first AF-lock and then recompose.
if dont want to use AF-lock, either move the focus point with the D-pad, or use AF-S.

Okay. A million thanks !

As I have mentioned earlier, I shot RAW, then converted to JPEG using the standard adobe colour profile under LR3... anyway here's another one to demostrate the amazing sharpness wide open ( can even see the imperfections clearly  shakehead.gif  )

I guess 85mm 1.4g will stay connected to your camera nowadays. Most of the time will use it right? tongue.gif

first wat do u want to shoot? and what camera are u using?
of cos if ur camera got more focus points, it makes it easier to track.
else just make sure u pan better.

Shooting like people doing their things . playing around , interacting. (All the movements can be predicted.) Unlike sport or bird shooting.

I thought d3100 got 11 focus points.
Anyway not sure how fast d3100 can track, but u should explore its 3D-tracking feature if its just 1 person etc...
else i would just use single point af-c...unless u really trust one of its 11 points in dynamic to actually lock on to what u want to focus.

Sorry, is 11 focus point.

I tested yesterday. I will stick to AF-C + Single point , because i can predict my subject.

Im using AF-ON btw.

http://imaging.nikon.com/products/imaging/...speed_accuracy/

The above site got very nice info about it although is D3X , but still can applied in every nikon camera.

Added on March 21, 2011, 8:46 pmOne more , when im using AF-C+ Single Point with AF-On.

Let say im shooting stationary thing. I use af-on to focus , then i release the af-on but my focus does not lock one . Is it because my camera AF-on different with high end camera body? (i set my AE-L,AF-L button to become AF-On)

----------------Info---------------------------

How to use the AF-On technique in the field

To emulate single-servo mode (focus/recompose/shoot)

Place the active AF point on your subject
Press the AF-On button to acquire focus
Release the AF-On button to lock focus
Recompose and shoot
To focus continuously on a moving subject

Place the active AF point on the subject
Press the AF-On button
Keep the AF-On button pressed to track focus while simultaneously pressing the shutter release
Remember to initiate the VR system (if your lens supports it) by half-pressing the shutter button prior to releasing the shutter. Remember, VR takes about a half-second to stabilize, so you’ll want to anticipate your subject.

already said AF-on basically is replace the half-press of shutter to focus.

you still do not understand what is AF-C, and also AF-S.
time for u to go read the manual.

umm...lowepro passport sling if i want to travel light.

Hmm sorry my bad. I make you misunderstand

You look at the video , he said after release af-on , the focus will locked . That why i wonder why mine cannot lock one if using af-on . but using af-l can lock focus(w/o release the button)

Maybe is the video maker mistake?

I just curious about this. I know af-on is act like half pressed shutter button but abit advanced of it.

How to use the AF-On technique in the field
To emulate single-servo mode (focus/recompose/shoot)

1.Place the active AF point on your subject
2.Press the AF-On button to acquire focus
3.Release the AF-On button to lock focus <--------i just wonder why mine af-on cannot lock focus one
4.Recompose and shoot <------ i use af-on to acquire focus edi then i release , i able to shoot (press shutter button) w/o recompose my picture. once i recompose and shoot , i cannot press shutter button. I just wonder why he said can recompose and shoot. this is my problem.

single-servo mode = AF-S.
lock focus = lock focus on the subject at a FIXED distance, if the subject moves forward or backward just slap the subject and ask him to stay still.

I guess nvm

Thanks you , I dont know how to state out my problem here.

Thanks smile.gif

When I read the reviews most people say not much difference. Just that it's a good investment for FX later. But for me FX is still far far away sad.gif

So save money for other stuff tongue.gif

Indeed, the hardest part is for people to admit their own mistakes; but those that does, will move on and go further. Usually, the biggest obstacle is the part to admit and learn. I guess it also depends on how a person is brought up, as usual, most peopl will tend to tease, laugh and make joke at someone who did wrong, this will shape the person into someone who's not willing to admit mistakes, so if we have kids, its important for us to make them understand its ok to make mistakes and learn from it.

Knowdlege, skills, experience is never ending and its nothing to do with age or if the person is newbie or profesional. Personally, I wouldn't look down on someone who is new or fresh, who knows, he/she might know something that I don't even know, or have more creative ideas. This applies to any field.

Disclaimer: The statement above is not meant for anyone, but just find its good to mention this since jchue73 mention this.
