Taking a break for a while

[Sushigaijin]

Now for the good new Loupey. You will now discover that your camera and lenses are equipped with auto focus

Ooooo bummer, my friend! I broke a finger last may and it still makes the occasional sickly crunch noise...lesson learned, stay off the broken stuff to let it heal!

Time to turn on the auto focus...I'm sure it says in your instruction manuals somewhere how to do that. Your cameras probably have two or three types of autofocus, including one that will track the subject. WOW!
Anyway, set it to center point, and point the reticle at the thing you want in focus. Now for the tricky part: half-press the shutter button. The lens will then automatically bring the subject into focus. This might take a while to get used to, but within a week or so you should be able to use autofocus with ease. :ciappa: :Yawn:

Sorry to hear about your accident Loupey , looks painful one thing that will speed up your healing is to try and not check to see if you can lift that 500mm and your 50D more than 3 times a day lol .
Take care and follow all your Doctors advice

Thanks, guys. I'm not one to follow doctors' orders (so I only see them once every 3~4 years on average) so we'll see

Autofocus?! What if it works? What if I like it? I would have thousands of threads to edit in which I gave much unwanted advice.


Oh, I forgot to set the scene earlier; the woods were utterly quiet and peaceful, the snow was still falling in slow motion, and not a single other person could be seen nor heard. Then with me on my side, I swear that my sudden burst of swearing made flocks of previously unseen birds take to the air, deer peer from around sycamores, and squirrels scamper up trees. I'm sure that watching a pile of leaves fall, wiggle, get up, and stagger away was the strangest thing they saw that day
