In reply to Jonathan Brady, 3 months ago

It is so easy and intuitive (with static objects) to just use the center point and recompose. With modern cameras all pushing 20 megapixels or more, Focus and crop is a pretty good alternative also.

I don't even turn on the outer focus points unless I am trying to follow action.
