Hello
This is my first post here and it has been causing me a bit of confusion recently. I have a sony nex 6 and when I started out I use to point and shoot at a high aperture and hope for the best. I've now got some more experience and recently bought the Sony 18-105 F/4 OSS lens. Ignoring full frame crop factor, at the lowest end the lens is reasonably wide, but what I don't understand is where should I set my focus point for landscape photos? I have the option of centre, flexible spot or multi? The only reason I've got confused about this is I have recently read a lot of stuff on hyperfocal distance which all refers to manual focus lenses where you can physically set the distance you want the lens to focus at. For example, an article about the Rokinon 12mm f/2 says that at f/8 and the following settings (below photo) everything from 3foot to infinity is in focus. Essentially how can I simulate these settings using an autofocus lens?
Thanks in advance.
