- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm heading out in a couple of hours to take some portrait shots. I'm checking my gear, making sure everything is working OK, and I notice something I haven't noticed before.
(Nikon D80, btw)
When I press the shutter half-way to lock in focus, only the center focus indicator locks in. This is true whether I am in single, continuous, or automatic focus mode.
This happens only when the camera shooting mode is not automatic. In auto, I get the 'moving' focus areas that change as I aim the camera differently.
Isn't this what 'continuous' focus zone mode does? Can I not use continuous in aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual?
I ask because it seems as though I have in the past.
Maybe I'm just crazy.
I appreciate any quick answers.
