I always use centre-spot focus, focus on the subject's eye, keep the shutter button half-depressed and then re-frame and shoot. I seldom like the camera making decisions for me in situations like this because it often gets it wrong.




How do you know if you never give it the chance?



I have tried it several times and know that it doesn't do what I want, reliably. I'm not anti-automation. In fact, automation is a good thing because it lets us concentrate more on the composition rather than the technicalities. I'm just against making that the assumption that the camera is always right in auto mode.
