Tracking... not stationary

In reply to jonrobertp, 2 months ago

Yet it does seem that a large majority simply use the one point sensor...and often surrounded by "assist" points, which to me seem rather dubious. Miss the actual spot, and they help zip.

Again, Jon, the assist points are designed to help track movement, where it can be really difficult to keep the focus point on a moving subject. They're all but useless on a stationary subject, to my knowledge.
