D750 which autofocus mode?

Hi,

which autofocus settings / mode are you using? I formerly used on surface only one center field .....how do you ensure, that exactly that point is sharp you want to have?

Regards Sascha

I always use single point focus, whether topside or UW. If your point of interest is off-center, you can move the focus point, use focus-recompose or crop in post to get your desired composition.

Topside I use CF with the focus decoupled from the shutter (one button on the back of the body is programmed to activate AF), UW I've found that single focus on the shutter works best for me.

Typos are a feature, not a bug

Hi Sascha

Like Storker, I use single focus point topside or UW. I've tried various other things - especially the 3D mode - but always go back to single. I find that best for wide-angle where you are not dealing, usually, with moving objects; and for macro. I did use the 3D again recently for shooting pods of fast-moving dolphins and got some real keepers. But, back to single after that!

I use AF-C 3D for macro and AF-C AUTO Area for wide angle.

Very occasionally use AF-C with single point.

Alex, your generosity sharing your expertise is much appreciated, even by people who ought to know what they are doing by now...

Hi Alex, with AF-C do you use release or shutter priority?
