Hi,
I'm 'new' to this digital camera stuff and I bought a Nikon D5000 'cos I liked the fold-out screen. Sold it soon after 'cos I couldn't get the autofocus to focus where I wanted to. I bought a Pentax K-5 'cos I liked ... well you know, Jono convinced me
Anyroad, 'ere I am again. Unless I focus manually (I've got a D700 with Nikkor Ais's for that), autofocus doesn't do what I think I'm telling it to - single focus point, half-shutter press, recompose and - you guessed it, the darn thing usually chooses whatever is nearest and another ruined photo on the Mac for me to trash. Rather than write the usual K-5 for sale ad, I'd really like to find out how to get in-focus pictures with the above technique which I do happily all day with the G1 by the way.
Come on ye boffins, cough up, wot's the secret? (OK, RTFM and all that, but I still get a low rate of hits, I need a human to explain it to me ...)
