Thanks, chum. I knew about the MF aids, but I was writing about refining focus
manually while in AF-S.
But the MF aids do need a little practice, so perhaps I’ll try that a bit more
(again).
I have been operating my Fujis with the area focus selected and it’s not that
satisfactory. I’ll revert to single point, I think, set as small as possible.
Cheers
Chris
