| Re: How do you have your shutter button configured? CF4 1 (foucus on * button) for a few reason , I like to focus when and where I want and I believe multiple presses on the star button actually aids focus or has a chance of making it more accurate.
The Canon AF system is open loop, it does not check to see if focus has been achieved , it merely tells the lens motor to move. Multiple presses almost make this a closed loop system as any press subsequent to the first one where focus has been achieved "checks" it and it alsa makes the lens motor to move in very small increments , possible correcting any overshoot or inertial effects or encoder errors (thats my theory anyway)
Suffice it to say , on one shot , it appears that I get more focus accuracy. If you use the E1 handstarp , this is slightly more awkward and often I change back to the default under certain circumstances. I am not that keen on the soft press button of my 5d and would actually prefer a little less recess , IE that the shutter actuates earlier on in the button press and not so far down , its a very minor niggle however. |
