Sorry for the multiple posts here... just trying to make sure I've got all my ducks in a row for today!
I'm shooting a toddler today and will be doing candid shots. Up until now, I've either been using the "all focus point" setting on my 500D, or more often, using the single points. I usually change the AF point to the one that is closest to the subject's eye, and then do a slight recompose before taking the shot. However, changing the point for each shot gets quite tedious.
I just read an article that said that you should use the center AF point (because it is more sensitive than the outer ones) and recompose, even if it means you are moving the camera slightly more. Is this legit advice?
Also, should I be using the "AI Focus" setting instead of "One Shot"? This article said if you subject is still but has a chance of moving, AI Focus would be better.
