Yup, you are right. Like the time I sold an Infinity (AF-1) to a guy who
really wanted a Canon SureShot. He came back a few days later and showed me
out of focus shots. I showed him how to lock focus, and pointed him to the
page in the manual that described the procedure, as well. But he really wanted
a SureShot, so he got one in exchange.
